Here is a quote from his speech: “In the Russian Federation today there are 50 thousand skinheads, 100 radical newspapers are published, 7 publishing houses specialize in the publication of neo-Nazi literature. In 2004, 44 murders were committed in Russia based on ethnic hatred, which is twice as many as in 2003".
