At each of its great historical junctures, Russia has undergone
major legal reforms, without ever truly establishing "the rule of
law". We are witnessing another such critical period now, and the
endpoint is not yet clearly defined. Is Russia evolving a
Western-style legal order, or should we expect to see new
variations on the established pattern -- politically dominated
legal system valuing outcomes over procedures, tolerating the
expedient use of extralegal means of coercion, and fostering
extrajudicial forms of conflict resolution?
This volume measures Russian legal reform in relation to the
rule-of-law ideal, but, more than that, it examines the legal
institutions, culture, and reform goals that have actually
prevailed in Russia. Judgments about future prospects are measured
against two starting points, 1914 and 1991, adding new dimensions
to our understanding of the Soviet legacy. The international group
of contributors -- including Sergei Kazantsev, Girish Bhat, Cathy
Frierson, Jane Burbank, Golfo Alexopoulos, Gapor Rittersporn, Yoram
Gorlizki, Gordon Smith, Eugene Huskey, Robert Sharlet, and Sarah
Reynolds -- bring to this endeavor a range of disciplinary methods
and expertise on law and justice in tsarist, Soviet, and
post-Soviet Russia.
