Russia Court bans country's oldest political party
Legal World
The Supreme Court of the Russian Federation Friday banned the Social Democratic Party of Russia for failure to follow regulations. The Court upheld a judgment in favor of the Russian Registration Service, which had sued the party for failure to establish 500-member local offices in at least 45 Russian regions and for failure to become a public organization by the start of this year. Party leader Vladimir Kishenin denied the charges, saying that offices had been established in 47 regions. Kishenin called the move "purely political" and announced plans to appeal the decision.
The Social Democratic Party was created in the pre-Bolshevik Russia in 1898 and revived in 2002 by former USSR president Mikhail Gorbachev, making it Russia's oldest political party. The Russian Supreme Court has upheld similar bans stemming from Registration Services challenges to political parties, dissolving the Republican Party of Russia, the Russia Peace Party and the Freedom and Rule of the People Party earlier this year; considerations of bans against three other parties are pending.

Illinois Work Injury Lawyers – Krol, Bongiorno & Given, LTD.

While we are one of the largest firms in Illinois dedicated solely to the representation of injured workers, we pride ourselves on the personal, one-on-one approach we deliver to each client.
Work accidents can cause serious injuries and sometimes permanent damage. Some extremely serious work injuries can permanently hinder a person’s ability to get around and continue their daily duties. Factors that affect one’s quality of life such as place of work, relationships with friends and family, and social standing can all be taken away quickly by a work injury. Although, you may not be able to recover all of your losses, you may be entitled to compensation as a result of your work injury.

• Injuries to the back and neck, including severe spinal cord injuries
• Serious head injuries
• Heart problems resulting from workplace activities

When you hire Krol, Bongiorno & Given, Ltd, you will have someone to guide you through the process, and when it is time to settle, we will add value to your case IN EXCESS of our fee. In the last few years, employers and insurance carriers have sought to advance the argument that when you settle a case without an attorney, your already low settlement should be further reduced by 20% so that you do not get a “windfall.” Representing yourself in Illinois is a lose-lose proposition.
