The decision of the ECHR has been executed. Discriminatory norms remain (the case of the abolition of the 15-year probationary period for religious groups)

Abstract

The special relevance of the topic of relations between the Russian Federation and the Council of Europe/ECHR is connected with the “divorce” of Russia with Europe as part of the collective West, which is happening before our eyes, which is accompanied by mutual accusations and “breaking dishes”. In this context, the unique case of correcting national legislation under the influence of the ECHR decision is extremely indicative for the Russian legal system. In addition, it is also connected with the legislative regulation of the religious sphere, it is also important to understand what happened “at the exit”.
