 Russian President Dmitry Medvedev issued a decree appointing Deputy Justice Minister Georgiy Matyushkin as the representative of the Russian Federation at the European Court of Human Rights. This was reported on Tuesday by the Kremlin press service.
As already reported on Polit.ru, last July Justice Minister Alexander Konovalov withdrew the candidacy of St. Petersburg parliament member Viktor Yevtukhov, who was to represent the Russian Federation at the European Court of Human Rights (ECHR) in Strasbourg. Yevtukhov was to replace Veronika Milinchuk, who held that office for about a year. (During this period the ECHR ordered Russia to pay its citizens more than 2.5 million rubles (Ed: about $100,000) in approximately two hundred complaints).

On Monday, July 4, Russian Prime Minister Vladimir Putin at the presidium of the government said that the threat of new terrorist attacks in the country remains very serious. He also added that tens of billions of rubles would be allocated in order to implement state programs to combat terrorism. According to the newspaper Kommersant, the Federal «Antiterrorism» program was allocated 717.7 million rubles in the 2005 budget.
The publication reported that, according to official figures, the open portion of the Federal «Anti-terror» Program was 105 million in 2005. In 2007, it was 85 million rubles. Very few people, however, are interested in the fate of the tens of thousands of who have been victims of terrorism in Russia.

 Dozens of newspapers in Russia have reacted to Mr Trunov's declaration of so-called «secret proceedings that will examine lawsuits brought by the victims of the terror act at the Dubrovka theatrical center in Moscow».
In reality, the government of Russia has petitioned to keep confidential documents in the 'Nord-Ost' case (the reason — terrorists could use this information in their terror attacks). However, Ms. Milichuk's letter discusses already submitted documents (I quote: «documents, which were deposited with the Registry in connection with the above application»). Thus, Mr. Trunov's conjectures (I quote Kommersant):

 The European Court of Human Rights has closed to the public the trial on the suits by the victims of the October 2002 terrorist act at the play Nord-Ost at the theater center in Dubrovka, in Moscow, at the insistence of Russia, which promised to provide a detailed account of the freeing of the hostages there, to reveal the formula of the gas used to narcotize those inside the theater and the names of the special operations agents involved in the action. Surviving audience members and relatives of those killed at the theater will make material claims against Russia at the trial.
The European Court closes trials for reasons of morals, public order, state security, for the protection of minors and to protect trial participants’ private lives. Lawyer for the claimants Igor Trunov commented that “By appealing to the materials in the case, the Russian representative at the European Court [Veronika Milinchuk] is trying to convince her colleagues that the Russian state and special services did all they could to free the hostages, but the situation was so difficult that they couldn’t save everyone.
