Klin's mayoral circles and distributed to city residents in the period
of November 6 to December 11 2008, had articles entitled "Dangerous
Neighborhood", "We are Killed", "Illegal Residents in Klin", and

stir up hatred or enmity and to degrade dignity of people because
of their race, nationality, language, origin, religion, that is,
their belonging to a social group.
