This book considers the process of legal modernization in Russia
from the development of the mechanism of complaints addressed to
the authorities from the pre-revolutionary period to today. It
analyzes wide-ranging data and sources, collected over 17 years,
such as legislation, in-depth interviews, archival materials,
original texts, and examples of different methods of complaints in
Soviet and contemporary Russia. Being marginal to the legal system
and almost invisible for researchers of legal development, the
complaint mechanism has functioned as an extremely important way of
restoring justice, available to the majority of people in Russia
for centuries. It has survived several historical gaps and, in a
sense, acts as a thread that stitches together different eras,
coexisting with the establishment and modernization of legal
institutions, compensating, accompanying, and sometimes
substituting for them. The research covers a period of over 100
years, and shows how and why at major historical crossroads, Russia
chooses between full-fledged legal modernization and saving the
authoritarian social contract between the state and society. This
book will be especially useful to scholars researching Soviet
society and Post-Soviet transformations, socio-legal studies, and
liberal legal reforms, but will also appeal to those working in the
broader fields of Russian politics, the history of Soviet society
and justice issues more generally.
