And also for the fact that the authorities of the Russian Federation illegally held me captive for over a year, abused me a lot, and then issued a certificate that they have no claims against me? Where to start?

Currently, only victims of war whose property was damaged or destroyed in Ukraine before September 16, 2022, i.e. within six months after the expulsion of Russia from the Council of Europe, can apply to the ECtHR.
