Russian Nationalism and Xenophobia in August 2022
The following is our monthly review of instances of xenophobia and radical nationalism, along with any government countermeasures, for August 2022. We are aware of only one person having suffered in a xenophobically-motivated attack this month: a black person was assaulted in St. Petersburg. Since the beginning of the year, we have recorded incidents in which a total of 17 individuals were attacked, and an additional case of a credible death threat.
