A media monitoring by the Moscow Helsinki Group which forms a part of its large-scale report ‘Nationalism, xenophobia and intolerance in contemporary Russia’. The monitoring was conducted in five Russian regions from October 2001 to January 2002. Regions were chosen to provide a cross-section of geographical location, economic performance, political preferences, and known high and low levels of hate speech. Widespread hate speech was uncovered, ranging from ‘soft’ forms to direct calls for violence.
