Russia owes approximately 74 million euros in compensation under ECHR decisions, and this does not take into account the record 1.9 billion euros in favor of former shareholders of the Yukos oil concern.
The Russian State Duma in the second, with amendments and third reading, adopted two bills allowing not to implement the decisions of the European Court of Human Rights (ECHR) in Russia. It was learned on Tuesday, June 7th.

In particular, it is allowed not to carry out ECtHR decisions adopted after March 15, 2022, the date on which the Russian Federation filed an application to withdraw from the Council of Europe. And according to decisions taken before this date, monetary compensation payments will be made, but only in rubles and only in accounts in Russian banks.
In addition, the State Duma provided the decisions of Russian courts that preceded the decisions of the ECtHR.
The Chairman of the State Duma of the Russian Federation Vyacheslav Volodin said that the ECHR has become “an instrument of political struggle.” He noted that some decisions of the Strasbourg Court are “directly contrary to the Constitution of the Russian Federation, our values and traditions.” As an example, he cited the need for ECtHR to recognize same-sex marriages.
“And there have been many such European Court decisions. We can’t agree on it,” Volodin said.
It was also found today that Russia owes approximately 74 million euros in compensation under the ECtHR decisions, and this does not take into account the record 1.9 billion euros in favor of former shareholders of the Yukos oil concern . In total, 2030 cases remain unfulfilled.
As you know, on March 16, Russia was expelled from the Council of Europe because of the war waged by the Kremlin against Ukraine.
