European Court of Human Rights dismissed a complaint of a Russian nationalist
We publish a decision of the European Court of Human Rights (ECHR) pronounced on December 7, 2006, on the application by Igor Artyomov, the leader of "Russian All-Nation Union".
Igor Artyomov applied to ECHR on May 13, 2005, after all the degrees of jurisdiction in Russian Federation had refused to register his movement as a political party. The dismissals were based on the word "Russian" in the name of the party. It contradicts the Political Parties Act prohibiting the establishment of political parties based on professional, racial, ethnic or religious affiliations.
