PROCEDURE

1. The case originated in an application (No. 30930/02) 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, Ms Tatyana Rafilovna Savenkova ("the applicant"), on 8 July 2002.
2. The applicant was represented by Ms O. Mikhaylova, a lawyer practising in Moscow. The Russian Government ("the Government") were represented by Mr P. Laptev, former Representative of the Russian Federation at the European Court of Human Rights.
