Abstract

The relevance of the study is due to a number of reasons, including the increasing role of the European Court of human Rights in interpreting the provisions of the Convention for the Protection of Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms, the transformation of national procedural mechanisms for the protection of citizens' rights in order to bring them in accordance with international standards. The objectives of this study were: to study the chronology of changes in civil procedural legislation that occurred under the pressure of international obligations of the Russian Federation; to assess the effectiveness of their application at the national level. The process of reforming the civil procedural legislation of the Russian Federation under the influence of the practice of the European Court of Human Rights is investigated. The problem of execution of judgments of the European Court of Human Rights adopted on complaints of citizens against the Russian Federation in connection with violation of the right to a fair trial is studied in detail. A provision on the possibility of abuse of the European Court of Human Rights in the formation of judicial practice against the Russian Federation is formulated. It is stated that the scope of legal regulation of the European Court of Human Rights is expanded through a new interpretation of the Convention provisions. It is concluded that the decision on the possibility of execution of judgments of the European Court of Human Rights establishing violations in the field of constitutional regulation is the competence of the Constitutional Court of Russia.
