This book is an unconventional reappraisal of Soviet law: a field
that is ripe for re-evaluation, now that it is clear of Cold War
cobwebs; and, as this book shows, one that is surprisingly topical
and newly compelling. Scott Newton argues here that the Soviet
order was a work of law. Drawing on a wide range of sources -
including Russian-language Soviet statues and regulations,
jurisprudence, legal theory, and English-language 'legal
Kremlinology' - this book analyses the central significance of law
in the design and operation of Soviet economic, political, and
social institutions. In arguing that it was an exemplary, rather
than aberrant, case of the uses to which law was put in
twentieth-century industrialised societies, Law and the Making of
the Soviet World: The Red Demiurge provides an insightful account
of both the significance of modern law in the Soviet case and the
significance of the Soviet case for modern law.
