Statistics of racist attacks - 2005

Accessed October 12, 2005

Compiled by SOVA Center

We publish generalized statistics of attacks motivated by ethnic hatred.

The information is systematized by regions of the Russian Federation (a technical error in the "Total" column has been corrected).

The table includes attacks not only on foreign citizens, but also on Russians with a "non-Slavic" appearance, as well as on anti-fascists and representatives of youth subcultures, whom skinheads consider "traitors to the ideas of the white race."

We want to make a reservation right away that these figures are obviously incomplete, since they do not take into account

injured in mass fights,
attacks in which there was a pronounced mercenary motive.

In addition, unfortunately, as a rule, we do not have data on the fate of the victims, who were initially reported to have received extremely severe injuries and are in intensive care.
