Case No. 39583\/05
\nJudgment Date: 24 April 2014<\/strong><\/p>\n

The applicants were the parents of Mikhail Perevedentsevy, who, in May 2003, was conscripted\u00a0to complete his mandatory military\u00a0service for two years in the Nizhniy Novgorod\u00a0Region. During his time there Mikhail complained\u00a0of bullying, sleep deprivation, and\u00a0physical abuse by his fellow recruits. His\u00a0experience was evidence of the \u201cdedovschina\u201d\u00a0system in which more senior officers subject\u00a0new recruits to various forms of abuse. In\u00a0February 2004, Mikhail was found dead with\u00a0a noose around his neck. A post-mortem report\u00a0revealed he had \u2018psychological peculiarities\u2019\u00a0which may have influenced his suicide. The\u00a0investigation conducted by the Russian\u00a0authorities was discontinued claiming there\u00a0was no evidence that a crime had been committed.\u00a0The applicants claimed Mikhail\u2019s death, and the absence of an effective and\u00a0prompt investigation, was in violation of\u00a0Articles 2 (the right to life) and 13 (the right\u00a0to an effective investigation) of the ECHR.<\/p>\n
