The definition is much hazier than that in the United States. Furthermore, what complicates the process in Russia, is that when hate material is distributed, it must go to a committee that determines whether or not it is indeed inflammatory. Judges can predict very easily which 'expert' will get the material. They can easily send obviously nationalist material to a racist. Another problem unique to Russia is that extremist groups sometimes justify their right to distribute hate literature by saying that to not allow dissent is to return to Stalinist times.
Public opinion is another.
There is a huge gap. Earlier that morning, Tom Martinez, a formerly active member of the white supremacist group The Order, addressed the group. Martinez had a change of heart, and infiltrated the group to help the FBI bring down its leader. Over the weekend, the group toured San Francisco. And on Monday, the sessions continued, with the delegation listening to talks given by representatives from the San Francisco District Attorney's office, as well as a panel of police officers representing different minority groups.
