courts establish a clear and well-founded term for their application with account for the actual possibility of administrative expulsion or deportation. Examples are these cases are: “Sordiya v. Russia,”75 “Mskhiladze v. Russia,”76 “Mainov v. Russia,”77 (2018 judgment), “Alimuradov v. Russia,”78 and “Mardonshoyev v. Russia”79 (judgment of 2019). Strategic cases to protect the rights of stateless persons in Russia won at the European Court create a precedent for other Council of Europe countries, which makes international advocacy and dissemination of information an important part of human rights work. A number of successful cases handled by ADC Memorial have formed the foundation of several analytical human rights reports on the problem of statelessness and alternative reports submitted to UN bodies. The documents have also been used as a tool for further litigation. For example, ADC Memorial’s report “Violations of the Rights of Stateless Persons and Foreign Citizens in Light of the ECHR Judgment in ‘Kim v. Russia’” (2016)80 was dedicated to the problems of Russian migration laws and law enforcement practices caused by the failure to implement the European Court’s strategic judgment in this case. When considering the similar case of Mskhiladze, the RF Constitutional Court relied on the expert opinion of Yu.N. Starilov, a distinguished legal scholar and dean of Voronezh University, whose opinion widely quoted the Kim report and supported the arguments presented by ADC Memorial.
