was removed from the list for the first time in more than two years of
the list�-?s history. Item 413, a leaflet against Krishnaists that was
spread in Khabarovsk by the members of the pro-Kremlin Young Guard of
United Russia (YGUR) party, is no longer extremist.

In November, 2009, according to our data, not less than 10 people,
including 2 fatalities, became victims of neo-Nazi and racist motivated
violence. Beside Moscow, the incident took place in Omsk, Kazan, Nizhny
Novgorod and St. Petersburg. The most high profile murders, in all
probability committed with a hate motive, were the ones on the
antifascist Ivan Khutorskoj (Kostolom) and the Orthodox priest Daniil
Sysoev. In comparison, in November, 2008, 6 people were murdered and not
less than 28 injured.
