- Abstract
The constitutional decision from 19 April 2016, No. 12-P/16 was the first case in connection with a request concerning the implementation of decisions from the Strasbourg Court in the Russian Federation. It has its roots in the right to vote for prisoners, which is expressly prohibited in Article 32(3) of the Russian Constitution. In its decision from 4 July 2013, the European Court of Human Rights found this regulation to be illegal with regard to Article 3 of the Protocol to the European Convention on Human Rights in the case “Anchugov and Gladkov”. The Russian Constitutional Court considered that the national implementation of this decision it not possible and based this conclusion mainly on the status of the Russian Constitution above the European Convention on Human Rights. It is needful to shed light on the measures the Strasbourg Court considered necessary and to assume if an implementation in the Russian Federation would be really impossible in this regard, as stated by the Russian Constitutional Court
