4.  The applicant was born in 1927 and lives in the town of Shakhty in the Rostov Region. 5.  On 3 June 2004 the Shakhty Town Court ordered that the Ministry of Finance should pay the applicant 298,650 Russian roubles (RUR, approximately 8,420 euros), representing a subvention for buying a flat. On 11 October 2004 the Rostov Regional Court upheld the judgment. 6.  Following the institution of enforcement proceedings by the Shakhty Town Division of Bailiffs' Service on 16 November 2004, the Ministry of Finance petitioned the Supreme Court of the Russian Federation for a revision of the judgment of 3 June 2004 and a stay in the enforcement proceedings. Those requests were dismissed on 25 April 2006. 7.  On 21 February 2006 the bailiffs closed the enforcement proceedings because it was necessary to send the writ of execution to another division of the bailiffs' service. A copy of that decision and the writ were sent to the Head of the Main Department of the Federal Bailiffs' Service in Moscow. The applicant and the Ministry of Finance were notified of the decision. 8.  According to the Government, the enforcement proceedings were closed because a new procedure for enforcement of court decisions against State bodies had been introduced on 1 January 2006. Under the new procedure the applicant was to submit a writ to the Ministry of Finance, however, she did not do it. 9.  On 23 March 2006 a bailiff of the Second Division of the Tsentralniy District of the Main Department of the Federal Bailiffs' Service in Moscow instituted enforcement proceedings and ordered that the Ministry of Finance should execute the judgment of 3 June 2004 within five days. The bailiff also indicated that the failure to execute the judgment will lead to the imposition of a fine. A copy of that decision was sent to the Ministry of Finance. 10.  On 20 June 2006 the enforcement proceedings were closed because it was “impossible to enforce” the judgment. 11.  The judgment of 3 June 2004, as upheld on appeal on 11 October 2004, remains unenforced.
