PROCEDURE

1. The case originated in an application (No. 10941/03) 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 Vladimir Mikhaylovich Bezymyannyy ("the applicant"), on 8 March 2003.
2. The applicant was represented by Mr I. Skripnichenko, a lawyer practising in Belgorod. The Russian Government ("the Government") were represented by Mr P. Laptev and Mrs V. Milinchuk, former Representatives of the Russian Federation at the European Court of Human Rights.
3. The applicant indicated that he possessed Ukrainian nationality as well. The Government of Ukraine have been notified of the application (Rule 44 § 1 of the Rules of Court). They did not submit any written comments under Article 36 § 1 of the Convention.
4. On 13 September 2006 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).

THE FACTS

I. The circumstances of the case

5. The applicant was born in 1950 and lives in Belgorod.

A. The background of the case

6. The applicant is a businessman and a former controlling shareholder of a private company OAO "Restoran Belgorod". According to the applicant, in 1997 a number of third persons produced a fake sales contract in respect of his shares in the company, as well as a fake register of the shareholders. They then tried to gain control over the company. Thereafter the matter was brought before the domestic courts.
7. On 27 April 1998 the Oktyabrskiy District Court of Belgorod, presided by judge B., dismissed the applicant's action to have the sale annulled and the register of shareholders declared fake and illegal. The court refused to order a forensic examination of the evidence, including a copy of the register of shareholders and the registrar's book of records, which the applicant had claimed were fake, and having admitted and considered them, rejected the applicant's action as groundless.
8. On 10 September 1998 that judgment was upheld on appeal by the Belgorod Regional Court.
9. On 18 September 1998, at the applicant's request, a police investigator initiated criminal proceedings for fraud against a number of third persons. On 28 October 1998 the investigator ordered an expert examination of the documents which the applicant had claimed were fake in the proceedings presided over by judge B.
