. Development of the precedent law of the European court of human rights based on the decisions, where Russia is a party.

Abstract: As the Director of the Institute of the Eastern-European Law of the Cologne University Angelica Nussberger notes, implementation of the European Convention on human rights in the Member States poses a challenge for any national legal system. Importantly, this challenge should not be seen as a goal to be achieved at some point, but rather, as a constant process of influence on traditional understanding and application of national law. This is especially so for the states, which ratified the Convention recently, so first 50 cases, of which Russia is a party, hold a special value for development of all spheres of Russian law.
