Moscow City Court

judiciary

The Moscow City Court is an appellate judicial body that reviews decisions from lower courts, including criminal, civil, and administrative cases. It has upheld or modified sentences in high-profile cases involving state security violations such as spreading false information about Russia's armed forces, with one case resulting in an eight-year prison term for historian Tamar Eidelman. The court also handled appeals related to business operations (e.g., restaurant closures), civil rights (including a minor’s social benefits claim), and criminal proceedings against former judges.
