Are there any provisions in the Law which allow for the suspension or extension of that limitation period? If yes, please specify.

The Civil Code of the Russian Federation allow for the suspension of the limitation period in following events:

1) The claiming was interfered by extreme and unpreventable circumstance (force majeure);
2) The claimant or the respondent is engaged in the Army;
3) The Russian Government established the moratorium to delay the execution of obligations;
4) Suspension of action of the law or the other legal act regulating the corresponding relations.

In some cases, when the court recognizes valid the reason of the miss of limitation period on the circumstances connected with the claimant (heavy illness, a helpless condition, illiteracy, etc.), the broken right of the citizen is a subject to protection. The reasons of the miss of limitation period can be admitted valid if they take place for the last six months of limitation period and if this period is equal to six months or less than six months - during a statute of limitation.
