“We plan to adopt federal laws on non-execution of ECtHR decisions this week,” Volodin wrote on Telegram.
He said that the deputies of the State Duma proposed for the second reading an amendment on non-execution of the decisions of the ECtHR, adopted after the filing of Russia's application to withdraw from the Council of Europe on March 15.
Another amendment proposes to make payments of monetary compensations under the ECtHR judgments, which entered into force before March 15, only in rubles and only to accounts in Russian banks.
Volodin noted that the ECHR has become an instrument of political struggle against Russia in the hands of Western politicians.
“Some of his decisions directly contradicted the Constitution of Russia, our values, traditions... We cannot agree with this,” Volodin concluded.
At the end of April, it became known that the Prosecutor General's Office of Russia stopped cooperating with the European Court of Human Rights after Russia's withdrawal from the Council of Europe.
On March 16, the ECHR informed that it was suspending consideration of all complaints against Russia after the country ceased to be a member of the Council of Europe.
Russia ceases to be a party to the European Convention for the Protection of Human Rights from 16 September.
