PROCEDURE
1. The case originated in an application (No. 22376/05) 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 four Russian nationals, Ms Lidiya Arkadyevna Rybakova, Mr Vladislav Nikolayevitch Belyayev, Mr Yuriy Vladislavovitch Belyayev and Ms Marina Vladimirovna Belyayeva ("the applicants"), on 12 June 2005.
2. The Russian Government ("the Government") were represented by Mr G. Matyushkin, the Representative of the Russian Federation at the Court.
3. The applicants complained, in particular, about lengthy non-enforcement of the final and binding judgment in their favour, which had ordered authorities to register the applicants' property title to two vehicles.
4. On 22 January 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).

5. The applicants were born in 1938, 1939, 1965 and 1963 respectively and live in Novosemeykino, Samara Region.

9. On 29 May 2006 the enforcement proceedings were opened at the applicants' request.
