1.

2. The applicants, who had been granted legal aid, were represented by lawyers of the Stichting Russian Justice Initiative ("SRJI"), an NGO based in the Netherlands with a representative office in Russia. The Russian Government ("the Government") were represented by Mr P. Laptev and Ms V. Milinchuk, former Representatives of the Russian Federation at the European Court of Human Rights, and subsequently by their Acting Representative, Mr A. Savenkov.
3. The applicants alleged that their close relatives had died in an artillery attack by Russian military forces at their family house, that there had been no effective investigation into the deaths, that the applicants themselves had been left with severe mental suffering and that they had no effective domestic remedies at their disposal.
