Russia’s relations with the European Court of Human Rights (ECtHR) since the time of Russia’s accession to the Council of Europe (CoE) have received a lot of attention on the part of academic scholars, practitioners, and media. Research on the ECtHR became especially important in the context of the twentieth anniversary of Russia’s acceptance of ECtHR jurisdiction that coincided with the unprecedented worsening of relations between Russia and the European countries due to the 2014 Crimea annexation. With voices that consistently advocate Russia’s exit from the CoE (and, consequently, withdrawal from the ECtHR jurisdiction), we believe it necessary to examine Russia-ECtHR relations as they are (re)presented in the academic narrative. Drawing mostly on Russian-language sources, we want to highlight the variety of overarching themes and arguments relating to the crisis caused by the 2015 Constitutional Court Decision. We would like to examine various dimensions of this “crisis,” in order to be able to conclude whether Russia’s reaction to the Markin case and cases of non-compliance that followed was indeed part of a broader strategy of “backlash against international courts” we are currently witnessing worldwide. In the conditions when Russia’s exit from the Council of Europe is as likely as ever, the possibility of the “snowball effect” on the part of other member states threatens undermine the very raison d’etre of the European human rights protection system.

马克金裁决后俄罗斯与欧洲人权法院的关系：辩论“反弹”

自俄罗斯加入欧洲委员会 (CoE) 以来，俄罗斯与欧洲人权法院 (ECtHR) 的关系受到了学术学者、从业人员和媒体的广泛关注。在俄罗斯接受欧洲人权法院管辖 20 周年之际，俄罗斯与欧洲国家之间的关系因 2014 年克里米亚吞并而空前恶化，因此对欧洲人权法院的研究变得尤为重要。由于一贯主张俄罗斯退出 CoE（并因此退出 ECtHR 管辖范围）的声音，我们认为有必要审查俄罗斯与 ECtHR 的关系，因为它们在学术叙述中（重新）呈现。主要借鉴俄语资源，我们想强调与 2015 年宪法法院裁决引起的危机有关的各种总体主题和论点。我们想检查这场“危机”的各个方面，以便能够得出结论，俄罗斯对 Markin 案和随后的违规案件的反应是否确实是我们“反对国际法院”的更广泛战略的一部分。目前正在世界范围内见证。在俄罗斯退出欧洲委员会的可能性与以往一样大的情况下，其他成员国可能产生的“滚雪球效应”威胁到了欧洲人权保护体系存在的根本原因。”为了能够得出结论，俄罗斯对 Markin 案件和随后的不遵守案件的反应是否确实是我们目前在世界范围内目睹的“反对国际法院”的更广泛战略的一部分。在俄罗斯退出欧洲委员会的可能性与以往一样大的情况下，其他成员国可能产生的“滚雪球效应”威胁到了欧洲人权保护体系存在的根本原因。”为了能够得出结论，俄罗斯对 Markin 案件和随后的不遵守案件的反应是否确实是我们目前在世界范围内目睹的“反对国际法院”的更广泛战略的一部分。在俄罗斯退出欧洲委员会的可能性与以往一样大的情况下，其他成员国可能产生的“滚雪球效应”威胁到了欧洲人权保护体系存在的根本原因。
