ECHR rules in favour of Ovchynnykov’s client

On 3 July 2018 the European Court of Human Rights delivered a judgment in the case of Volokitin and Others v. Russia (application no. 74087/10 and 13 Others), in which it held that there had been a violation of Article 1 of Protocol No. 1 to the Convention in respect of all the applicants on account of the failure by the Russian authorities to redeem Soviet-era premium bonds.

Moreover, the ECHR ruled that the Russian authorities shall take all the necessary measures with a view to executing the present judgment.
