The head of the Central election Commission of Russia Vladimir Churov has led the European court of human rights (ECtHR) with "Shemyakin court" and said that if Russia from the Council of Europe, the country will not fall under the jurisdiction of the ECtHR.

" in a democratic state prison is always preceded by the court, it is desirable fair, clearly acting within its jurisdiction, and the court, which in Russian is not called Shemyakin court. Our higher courts, in my opinion, act only on the basis of the law and the Constitution and maintain order and justice. I mean, the Supreme court, the constitutional court. The ECtHR also brilliantly suited for an old Russian proverb - Shemyakin court, "Churov said" ".

He added that the Russian Federation will no longer fall under the jurisdiction of the ECtHR in the case of withdrawal from the Council of Europe.

"Neutral court" is the name of an ancient Russian satirical novel of the second half of the seventeenth century, denounced the tyranny and koristnost feudal court.
