FOURTH SECTION
DECISION
Application no. 35633/17
Yelena Ivanovna SENTYUKOVA against Russia
and 37 other applications
(see appended table)
The European Court of Human Rights (Fourth Section), sitting on 18 December 2025 as a Committee composed of:
 Faris Vehabović, President,
 Lorraine Schembri Orland,
 Anne Louise Bormann, judges,
and Viktoriya Maradudina, Acting Deputy Section Registrar,
Having regard to the above applications lodged on the various dates indicated in the appended table,
Having deliberated, decides as follows:
FACTS AND PROCEDURE
The list of the applicants is set out in the appendix.
These applications originated from the conflict between Ukraine and the Russian Federation after the occupation and annexation of Crimea by Russia in 2014.
The applicants primarily complained under Article 1 of Protocol No. 1 to the Convention of the deprivation of their land plots by Russian authorities in Crimea; some applicants also invoked Articles 6 and/or 13 of the Convention.
On 15 December 2021 their complaints were communicated to the Russian Government and, in respect of applications nos. 31445/18 and 31446/18, also to the Ukrainian Government (see Andriyevskiy and Others v. Russia and 229 other applications).
The Russian Government did not submit their observations, while the Ukrainian Government provided theirs on 3 February 2023. The applicants were required to submit their observations, together with any claims for just satisfaction (see details in the appendix).
When the applicants had failed to submit their observations, by letters sent via the Court’s Electronic Communication Service (eComms) and/or by registered post, they were notified that the period allowed for submission of their observations had expired and that no extension of time had been requested (see appended table for further details).
The applicants’ attention was drawn to Article 37 § 1 (a) of the Convention, which provides that the Court may strike an application out of its list of cases where the circumstances lead to the conclusion that the applicant does not intend to pursue the application. However, no response has been received.
THE LAW
Having regard to the similar procedural conduct of the applicants, the Court finds it appropriate to examine them jointly in a single decision.
In the light of the foregoing, and in the absence of any special circumstances regarding respect for the rights guaranteed by the Convention and the Protocols thereto, the Court, in accordance with Article 37 § 1 (a) of the Convention, considers that it is no longer justified to continue the examination of the applications.
Accordingly, the cases should be struck out of the list.
The Court reiterates that under Article 37 § 2 of the Convention it may decide to restore an application to its list of cases if it considers that the circumstances justify such a course.
For these reasons, the Court, unanimously,
Decides to join the applications;
Decides to strike the applications out of its list of cases.
Done in English and notified in writing on 22 January 2026.
