The article examines the question of admissibility of recognition of foreign judgments on commencement of bankruptcy proceedings on the basis of international treaties on legal assistance. It examines the background of these international treaties, as well as the practice of their application in respect of this category of foreign judgments. The authors conclude that foreign court decisions on opening of insolvency (bankruptcy) proceedings should be regarded as “judgments in civil matters” for the purpose of the international treaties on legal assistance. This category of foreign judgments should be recognised on the basis of international treaties in the Russian Federation, despite the existing approach of Russian courts (including the Judgment of the Arbitrazh (Commercial) Court of the Ural District of 09.10.2019 in case No. A60-29115/2019).

本文考察了根据法律援助国际条约承认外国判决启动破产程序的可采性问题。它审查了这些国际条约的背景，以及它们在此类外国判决中的适用实践。作者得出结论，就国际法律援助条约而言，外国法院关于启动破产（破产）程序的决定应被视为“民事判决”。尽管俄罗斯法院采用现有方法（包括乌拉尔地区仲裁（商事）法院 2019 年 10 月 9 日对第 A60 号案件的判决，但俄罗斯联邦应根据国际条约承认此类外国判决-29115/2019）。
