The current issue of Kommersant-Vlast has a list of the major events involving interethnic conflict Russia in the last 6+ years, not counting various events relating to Chechnya, like the attack on Nalchik in 2005, as ethnic. They are (I am translating and condensing text):
Auguest 2000 -- in the stanitsa (village) of Kletskaya in Volgograd Oblast the murder of Roman Lopatin in a disco leads to demands that all Chechens be resettled and no longer allowed to enter, and then to burning of Chechen homes.
March 2001 -- In Rostov Oblast Cossacks destroyed Chechen property after a mass fight in the town of Bogorodintskoe.
21 April 2001 -- In Moscow, around 200 people arranged a pogrom in a market in Yasenevo, destroying about 30 stands. 10 people suffered, mostly traders from Azerbaijan.
30 October 2001 -- In Moscow, around 300 young people armed with metal clubs attacked markets around the metro stations Tsaritsyno, Kakhovskaya ans Kashirskaya, beating traders from the Caucasus. 4 people were killed, over 80 suffered.
May 2002 -- In Chastoozer'e in Kurgan Oblast a fight occured between Russians and Chechens in which over 400 people took part.
June 2002 -- Two large events occured. In Uglich in Yaroslavl Oblast, after the murder of the 17-year-old Konstantin Blokhin in a town disco a building was burned down in which Chechens lived and the Special Forces were called in to break up masses of local residents and Caucasians that had formed on the central square. And in Krasnoarmeiska near Moscow young people beat several Armenian families and demanded that the town be cleansed of foreigners after an elderly Armenian stabbed the 26-year-old Igor Samolyuk with a knife in the Pal'mira bar. This became the basis for the creation of the Movement Against Illegal Immigration, which figured in Kondopoga last year.
15 and 17 September 2003 -- In Nalchik, mass fights occured between the local population and Chechen students. On both occasions about 300-300 people took part, and more than 50 suffered. The cause was an argument in a city taxi, in the coyrse of which several Chechens harshly beat a local resident.
2004 -- Nothing! Yay!
March 2005 -- In Novorossiisk, 200 Cossacks destroyed several Armenian stores and cafes, beating their owners. The cause was the wounding of a Cossack in a fight that had occured the day before.
6 August 2005 -- Conflict between the Dagestani population of Moskhob and the Chechen town of Novosel'skoe (no details given).
18 August 2005 -- In the town of Yandyki in Astrakhan Oblast after a young Kalmyk man was killed in a mass fight 300 Kalmyks marched theough the town, beating Chechens and burning their residences.
23 September 2005 -- In Nalchik a fight between 200 locals and Chechen students led to a demonstration demanding that all Chechens be expelled from the city (my ex-girlfriend is from Nalchik BTW).
June 2006 -- In Sal'sk in Rostov Oblast an argument over a girl in the cafe Razgulyai grew into a one-on-one fight between a young Russian and a young Dagestani man, then into the group beating of the victor, then into a mass fight between local people and newcomers. One local resident, 29-year-old Yurii Sarychev, was shot. On June 9 city residents held several demonstrations, the first of which "condemned the inactivity of the government," the second of which (more than 5000 people) suggested expelling all Caucasians, and the third of which demanded the resignation of the entire Sal'sk government.
21 August 2006 -- Young (Russian) nationalists detonated a bomb in Moscow's Cherkizovskii market. 13 people died. (The perpetrators were, BTW, students at Moscow State University.)

After a fight in the Chaika restaurant between local residents and Caucasiabs left 3 locals dead, meetings were held demanding that all Caucasians be expelled from the city, followed by destruction of Caucasian-owned property. Caucasian population escorted to nearby city.
Also August 30 2006 -- A fight occured in the Saratov cafe Vseslav Charodei, in which a group of contract soldiers was celebrating Day of the Armies of Special Assignments (Russia has so many holidays!).
