The current system of review of judicial acts of courts of civil jurisdiction is characterized by complexity and ramification. It is regulated simultaneously by three Codes, which are not fully harmonized with each other. There are peculiarities as to specialized courts and certain categories of cases. The supervisory review in the Presidium of the Supreme Court of the Russian Federation is not recognized by the European Court of Human Rights as a remedy at law that needs to be exhausted on the national level. It is sufficient to obtain a ruling of the second cassation instance – the Judicial Chamber of the Supreme Court of the Russian Federation. The activity of the Chairman of the Supreme Court of the Russian Federation for the initiation of cassation and supervisory proceedings remains beyond the concept of effective judicial remedy as well. Keywords: review of judgments that has entered into legal force; cassation proceedings; supervisory proceedings; Chairman of the Supreme Court of the Russian Federation; multiplicity of instances; effective remedy at law.
