Nationalists to Organize International Conference in Moscow - http://xeno.sova-

The Movement Against Illegal Immigration (DPNI) has agreed to collaborate with
the German National Democratic Party (NDP) and stated its intention to organize
an international conference of nationalistic organizations in Moscow this
winter. "We see the NDP as our most reliable ally in Germany. The vision of a
future international coalition is clear in my mind", said the leader of the
DPNI, Alexander Belov. The declaration was made one day after the
DPNI "Unifying" Congress on September 13 organized by one of the organization's
factions, to which the Belov group was not invited. One of the main reasons, in
fact, for the seemingly irreconcilable conflict in the organization is indeed
Belov's declared ideology of a European-style nationalism.

organization existent since May this year.

Galina Kozhevnikova. The Hate Speech in and out of the Election
Campaign: The Media Monitoring: September 2003 - March 2004
http://xeno.sova-center.ru/6BA2468/6BB4208/BB11139
Edited by Alexander Verkhovsky
We released the English (shortened) version of Galina Kozhevnikovaa's
book, "The Hate Speech in and out of the Election Campaign: The Media
Monitoring: September 2003 - March 2004".
The study was carried out during the parliamentary and presidential
electoral campaigns, which are also the special features of the book.
The text is divided into three parts.
The so-called standard monitoring, i.e. the monitoring directed towards
the exposure and classification of the language of hostility, makes up
the first part. It was conducted in September-December 2003, concerns
the limited range of publications in Moscow and in five Russian regions,
and is based on methodology developed at previous stages.
The second part is a special study of the parliamentary campaign, and
starts as well in September 2003. We were firstly interested in the use
of the language of hostility by the participants in the electoral
campaign. The book further considered a much wider range of sources (74
publications). Additional classifiers were developed, which made
possible a more in-depth reflection of the specific character of the
language of hostility used in the electoral campaign, and to reveal its
party-ideological direction and affiliation.
The third part consists of a survey of mass media outside the formal
monitoring. This survey is naturally divided into the periods of the
parliamentary and presidential campaigns.
The complete text of the report can be accessed in .pdf format.
We plan to publish soon the English version of a similar study
concerning the 2007-2008 parliamentary and presidential campaigns.
