PROCEDURE

1. The case originated in an application (No. 5453/08) 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 a Russian national, Mr Yuriy Yevgenyevich Yakovlev ("the applicant"), on 11 December 2007.
2. The applicant was represented by Mr S. Antonov, a lawyer practising in Moscow. The Russian Government ("the Government") were represented by Mr G. Matyushkin, Representative of the Russian Federation at the European Court of Human Rights.
3. The applicant complained, in particular, that the length of his detention was excessive.
4. On 5 June 2009 the President of the First Section decided to give notice of the application to the Government. It was also decided to examine the merits of the application at the same time as its admissibility (Article 29 § 3). Further to the applicant's request, the Court granted priority to the application (Rule 41 of the Rules of Court).

7. The applicant was not arrested, as on 24 November 2006 he gave a written undertaking to comply with investigators' orders and summons. During the subsequent eight months he fully complied with the written undertaking and actively participated in the criminal investigation, attending investigative actions whenever summoned by the Prosecutor General's office (at least fifteen times in eight months).
8. On 2 July 2007 the deputy head of the Trade Security Service of the Federal Security Service ("the FSB"), lieutenant-general V., sent a letter to a senior investigator of the Prosecutor General's Office responsible for the applicant's criminal case. The relevant part of the letter read as follows:
"[We] have received information that the former first deputy director of the Fund, [the applicant], if informed that documents [for his arrest] are being prepared, will take steps similar to those [taken] in November 2006 when he, having used his extensive connections in medical institutions, admitted himself to a ho
