4.  The applicant was born in 1953 and lives in Astrakhan. 5.  As a victim of Chernobyl, the applicant is entitled to social beneﬁts. As the authorities had failed to provide the beneﬁts in full, the applicant brought four civil actions. 6.  On 3 June 2003 the Kirovskiy District Court of Astrakhan awarded the applicant arrears, ﬁxed a new amount of periodic payments, and ordered that in future this amount should be adjusted for the cost of living. This judgment became binding on 1 August 2003, and was enforced in September–October 2003. 7.  On 3 June 2004 the district court awarded the applicant arrears. This judgment became binding on 20 August 2004, and was enforced in January–July 2005. 8.  On 30 August 2004 the district court ordered a local authority to provide the applicant with a decent at. This judgment became binding on 28 September 2004. From November 2004 to May 2005 the enforcement proceedings were stayed pending supervisory-review proceedings requested by the local authority. In October 2005 the local authority offered the applicant a at, but he refused it considering it too small to house his family. On a bailiff’s request, on 7 February 2006 the district court speciﬁed that the at was not meant for the applicant’s family members. In July 2006 the local authority offered the applicant another at, and on 28 September 2006 he accepted it. 9.  On 24 October 2005 the district court awarded the applicant arrears and upgraded periodic payments. This judgment became binding on 7 November 2005, and was partly enforced in December 2005. In March–April 2006 the bailiff twice returned the writ of enforcement to the applicant, because the judgment had to be executed by the social authority directly. On the applicant’s request, on 6 February 2007 the Presidium of the Astrakhan Regional Court quashed the judgment on supervisory review and ordered a rehearing.
