| | Depositor Seeks Lost Savings in Strasbourg |
 | | In November 1998, after Rossiisky Kredit had stopped paying back deposits, Zagorodnikov won a court ruling to get $45,000 in compensation, but he never received the money. |
 | | In 1999, ARKO, the state agency in charge of restructuring Russia's credit institutions, arranged an amicable agreement between the bank and its depositors, but Zagorodnikov refused to sign it, claiming he would lose 15 percent of the money he was owed, Kommersant said. |
 | | In 2002, the Moscow Arbitration Court upheld the legality of the ARKO agreement, after which Zagorodnikov decided to file a complaint with the European court. |
