  abstract     = {{On 8 March 2022 the European Court of Human Rights (ECtHR) has decided to apply an urgent interim measure in the case of ANO RID Novaya Gazeta and Others v. Russia. The ECtHR in the interests of the parties and the proper conduct of the proceedings before it, and having regard to the exceptional context of the war in Ukraine in which the request has been lodged, invited the Russian authorities, under Rule 39 of the Rules of Court, to abstain until further notice from actions and decisions aimed at full blocking and termination of the activities of Novaya Gazeta, and from other actions that in the current circumstances could deprive Novaya Gazeta of the enjoyment of its rights guaranteed by Article 10 of the European Convention on Human Rights (ECHR), more precisely its rights to freedom of expression and information.

The military conflict in Ukraine has also other important consequences for Russia. Following the Resolution of the Committee of Ministers that the Russian Federation ceased to be a member of the Council of Europe as from 16 March 2022 (Resolution (CM/Res(2022)2) the ECtHR has decided the same day to suspend the examination of all applications against the Russian Federation pending its consideration of the legal consequences of this Resolution for the work of the ECtHR (https://hudoc.echr.coe.int/eng-press?i=003-7287047-9930274). This suspension has been lifted however by a decision of the ECtHR on 22 March 2022: the ECtHR will remain dealing with applications directed against the Russian Federation in relation to acts or omissions capable of constituting a violation of the ECHR  provided that they occurred until 16 September 2022. In the same decision the ECtHR has declared that the Russian Federation will cease to be a High Contracting Party to the ECHR on 16 September 2022.}},
