They concern the alleged unlawful criminal conviction of the applicant, as well as related issues, including the lawfulness of his detention, the conditions of his detention and the loss of access to his property. On 6 November 2013 the applicant was convicted for theft and sentenced to five years and five months’ imprisonment by the Kyivskyi Local Court of Simferopol, acting in the name of Ukraine. However, on 24 September 2014 the same court pronounced a new sentence in the name of Russia, adjusting the conviction in accordance with Russian legislation and sentenced the applicant to four years’ imprisonment. The applicant appealed this second sentence in the Russian “courts” in Crimea. After the conviction became final, he was transferred to serve his sentence in the Kirov region of Russia. On 3 August 2017 the applicant was released, having completed his sentence in full. Several months before the applicant’s release, the prison authorities where he was serving his sentence requested the court to place him under administrative supervision. However, on 13 March 2017 the Kirovo ‑ Chepetsk District Court of the Kirov region denied the request on the grounds that the applicant was not a Russian citizen and had no legal grounds to remain in Russia after his release. In application no. 31355/17, the applicant complains under Article 6 of the Convention that his original conviction in Crimea was unlawful, and that he was unlawfully detained in Russia following the conviction by the Russian “court” in Crimea. In application no. 81586/17, the applicant complains that he lost access to his property in Crimea, as he was unable to return there after serving his sentence, in violation of Article 1 of Protocol No. 1 to the Convention. Lastly, in application no. 8406/18, the applicant argues that he was prevented from entering Crimea after his release in violation of Article 2 of Protocol No. 4 to the Convention. QUESTIONS TO THE PARTIES 1.     Has the applicant complied with the admissibility requirements set forth in Article 35 of the Convention?   2.     In so far as application no. 31355/17 is concerned, was the applicant deprived of his liberty in breach of Article 5 § 1 of the Convention (see Ukraine v. Russia ( re Crimea) [GC], nos. 20958/14 and 38334/18, §§ 943 ‑ 46 and 998, 25 June 2024)?   3.     As regards application no. 81586/17, has there been an interference with the applicant’s right to peaceful enjoyment of possessions, within the meaning of Article 1 of Protocol No.   1 to the Convention?   4.     In so far as application no. 8406/18 is concerned, has there been a restriction on the applicant’s right to liberty of movement, guaranteed by Article 2 § 1 of Protocol No. 4 to the Convention (see Ukraine v. Russia ( re   Crimea) [GC], cited above, §§ 1174-75)?       APPENDIX List of cases:   No. Application no.
