PROCEDURE

1. The case originated in four applications (Nos. 2109/07, 2112/07, 2113/07 and 2116/07) against the Russian Federation lodged with the Court under Article 34 of the Convention for the Protection of Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms ("the Convention") by four Russian nationals, whose names and dates of birth appear in the appended table. The respective dates of introduction of the applications are also shown in the table.
2. The Russian Government ("the Government") were represented by Mr G. Matyushkin, the Representative of the Russian Federation at the Court.
3. The applicants alleged in particular that judgments given in their favour had not been enforced.
4. On 24 September 2008 the President of the First Section decided to communicate these applications to the respondent Government. It was also decided in all cases to examine the merits of the applications at the same time as their admissibility (Article 29 § 3).

9. By four separate written statements the applicants refused the offer. They stated in their refusals that in accordance with the judgments in their favour and with the writs of execution the authorities were under obligation to provide them with flats, and not with the sums of money.
10. On 24 May 2007 the District Court instructed the bailiffs to enforce the judgments in accordance with the writs of execution.
