Supreme Court of Russia

The Supreme Court of Russia is an institution in Moscow, Russia, serving as the highest instance for civil, criminal, and military cases. The work is carried out by judges in specialized chambers that rule on different areas of law.

The court emerged in 1923 as a successor to the Supreme Court of the Soviet Union and took over its function in the new state structure. Since then, it has maintained the role of the highest judicial instance in Russia.

The courthouse complex on Povarskaya Street functions as an official building where people in formal attire come to address legal matters. Its facade shows classical architectural lines that underline the seriousness and institutional purpose of the place.

The building stands in an official district and is accessible only to people who have business there. Visitors should be aware that entry is restricted and security checks are common.

The court works with an advisory body where academics and lawyers join judges in discussions. This collaboration helps bring different perspectives into the decision-making process.
