Author analyses the amendments to Arbitrazh Procedure Code of the Russian Federation passed in 2020 and which introduced in the Russian legislation some new procedural tools to resolve the conflicts of jurisdiction between Russian courts and foreign courts and arbitrations in the disputes where sanctioned subjects are involved. Although some experts opined that the provisions could have negative impact on the investment climate, the author supposes that these new norms could stimulate the development in Russian law of important procedural instruments, already existing abroad, including anti-suit injunctions, the concept of inoperative jurisdictional agreement, etc. Moreover, it is important to consider the access to justice idea from different angles including not only constitutional and international public law but also international civil procedure and international arbitration. The amendments could also help to comprehend some other procedural categories, which assist in resolving of jurisdictional conflicts, including forum non conveniens. Thoughtful national position on these and other issues of transnational procedure, based on the real court practice, rather than on abstract considerations, may secure the long-standing interests of the Russian citizens and companies in the international law realm.
