| Aggressive xenophobia in Russian Federation in 2012: forms, manifestations, response of authorities |

(Report of Moscow bureau for human rights)
 Solution of “ethnic problem” in Russia still remains one of paramount priorities of social and political development: creation of Council on interethnic relations under the President of RF is an evidence of this fact. During the first meeting of the Council in Saransk (Republic of Mordovia) on August 24, 2012 the President of RF V. Putin noted that “values of interethnic consent are not a gift of our ancestors for the whole time. Such traditions must be permanently maintained. Besides, life goes on and new challenges, new risks and new threats appear. And this requires the keenest attention and quite laborious everyday work from the state and the society”1.

Report of Moscow bureau for human rights, author – Vyacheslav Likhachev (Kiev)
Introduction
Election to the Supreme Rada of Ukraine of seventh convocation took place on October 28, 2012. Unlike during previous elections of 2006 and 2007 when the parliament was formed exclusively according to proportional system, this year like in 2002 a half of deputy corps was elected according to party lists in multi-seat national-wide electoral district and another half – in 225 territorial single-seat districts according to majority system.
It should be reminded that in 2010, in connection with abolition of constitutional reform which was approved as one of elements of “package” solution of political crisis during Orange revolution of 2004, political system of the country was changed again two years ago towards strengthening of presidential power. This means that election to parliament is not of such a great importance for the country this year like it was in 2006 and 2007 when people’s deputies created the ruling coalition that formed the government. This time deputies won’t be able to affect the executive branch of authority regardless of configuration of political forces in the Supreme Rada of seventh convocation.
