/PanARMENIAN.Net/ 107 people have suffered from assaults through
national hatred since the beginning of the year in Russia. 18 of them
were killed. 10 people were killed in Moscow, 38 were injured. 4
people were killed in Saint Petersburg, 20 were injured. Skinheads'
assaults were registered in over 15 regions of Russia. If earlier
skinheads assaulted the natives of Caucasus and Central Asia, now
representatives of youth subcultures and sexual minorities also fell
into the risk group,' the edition writes.
The human rights activists think that some 50 thousand skinheads
commit outrages in Russia. `With the high level of xenophobia in
Russia the number of staunch right radicals is not so important, since
a small sparkle is enough to make passive xenophobes (about 60% of the
population) active,' this is the data provided by Amnesty
International in the report on xenophobia in Russia, the newspaper
says.
