The Court ordered the Russian Government to take general measures aimed at improving conditions of detention in foreigners' temporary detention centres.

Conditions of detention in a foreigners' detention centre in Krasnoye Selo in St. Petersburg pending expulsion, absence of judicial control and lack of due diligence on the part of the authorities constitute violations of the European Convention on Human Rights.
The Russian Government were ordered to take general measures to ensure that the situation of the deportees complies with the guarantees under the Convention. That pronouncement led to the structural changes in the modus operandi of the foreigners' detention centre.
