The gang members were indicted for "killing two or more people by an organized group, motivated by feelings of ethnic and racial hatred; attempted killings; the instigation of hatred or hostility; and disorderly conduct," according to Interfax.
"Influenced by ideas on exclusivity of people of Russian ethnicity and inferiority of non-Slavic individuals ... the defendants formed organized groups to kill people coming from former Soviet republics located in the Asian and Caucasus regions," a prosecution spokesman was quoted as saying. CNN.com
