About 2019 Data

    The police, prosecution and sentencing numbers include "extremism" offences, which may fall outside of the OSCE's definition of hate crime.

National developments

In January 2019, amendments to the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation and the Code of Administrative Offences of the Russian Federation came into force. These amendments set the threshold of criminal liability, as opposed to administrative liability, for the offence of inciting hatred or enmity, as well as for the offence of humiliating a person's dignity for extremist motives, including when committed through violence.
