Galina Kozhevnikova, anti-fascist, researcher and human rights activist, has passed away on the 5th of March, 2011. She was one of the founders of the Information and analytical centre SOVA. Her contribution to the research of neo-nationalism, neo-Nazism and hate crimes in Russia can scarcely be exaggerated. She had been working on these issues till the very last day of her short and heroic life.
