The judgement notes that Russia has ignored a range of requests from the court and has not participated in the process since it ceased to be a member of the Council of Europe.
In April 2022, Russia submitted over 2,000 sets of documents in support of its application, but after that, it stopped communicating with Strasbourg, and, in particular, in May, it ignored the court’s request to provide translations of documents and did not respond to a letter sent in November asking whether Russia was still interested in pursuing its claim. The Court “concluded that the Russian Government no longer wished to pursue their application as they had repeatedly failed to reply to its correspondence”
