It is a shame that the majority of members of the court failed to see the serious dangers and risks that the adoption by the Russian law created for the country. Ucha Nanuashvili of the “Democracy Research Center” told journalists that the court, with the exception of two people, had lost the independence it once enjoyed in the society.
He noted that the court had sufficient time and resources to reach a different conclusion.
