PROCEDURE

1. The case originated in an application (No. 14370/03) 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 Nikita Nikolayevich Moskovets ("the applicant"), on 2 April 2003.
2. The applicant was represented by Ms T. Klykova, a lawyer practising in St Petersburg. The Russian Government ("the Government") were represented by Ms V. Milinchuk and Mr A. Savenkov, former Representative and former acting Representative of the Russian Federation at the European Court of Human Rights respectively.
