Russian Right-Wing Extremists Kill 600 in Decade
Right-wing extremists have killed six hundred people in Russia since 2004. But there are also numerous unrecorded cases.
Johannes Due Enstad at the Norwegian Defence Research Establishment (FFI) and colleague Jacob Ravndal are heading efforts at the institute to build a leading research group on terrorism.
Most of their work consists of upgrading data and statistics. The researchers also keep an eye on websites and web debates, as well as observing target groups in the field.
With the exception of Sweden and Finland, their data shows that the level of violence from extreme right groups is generally stable or declining in Western Europe, and they are trying to understand why Russia is moving in the opposite direction.
