Legal issue: whether the contested rules (as recently amended) are in conformity with part 4 of Article 125 of the Constitution, as long as they allow a citizen to bring a complaint to the Constitutional Court only against the violation of his constitutional rights and freedoms by a law which had been already applied to his case and on the condition that the consideration of this case by the court was finished?

Ratio decidendi: the Court refused to accept the complaint for consideration, because the admissibility criteria were not met. At the same time, the Court pointed out that the federal legislator has lawfully developed and specified part 4 of Article 125 of the Constitution of the Russian Federation by establishing in the new version of the provisions in question that the Constitutional Court, following the complaints of citizens may review the law which was actually applied in the respective case, while following the requests from courts it may review a law which is subject to application.
