    People from Russia and other ex-USSR states sue their governments in ECHR all the time. Sometimes those governments even pay the fines.

    I mean, glad that you’re glad.

      Yeah, we in Romania sue our own government quite often in the ECHR, and we win, and then the government goes like “well what is another fine to us, we’ll just make the taxpayers pay it” or “look the EU is bad for telling us it’s not okay to discriminate < insert minority > !”.
