This book focuses on the way in which legal historians and legal
scientists used the past to legitimize, challenge, explain and
familiarize the socialist legal orders, which were backed by
dictatorial governments. The volume studies legal historians and
legal histories written in Eastern European countries during the
socialist era after the Second World War. The book investigates
whether there was a unified form of socialist legal historiography,
and if so, what can be said of its common features. The individual
chapters of this volume concentrate on the regimes that situate
between the Russian, and later Soviet, legal culture and the area
covered by the German Civil Code. Hence, the geographical focus of
the book is on East Germany, Russia, the Baltic states, Poland and
Hungary. The approach is transnational, focusing on the interaction
and intertwinement of the then hegemonic communist ideology and the
ideas of law and justice, as they appeared in the writings of legal
historians of the socialist legal orders. Such an angle enables
concentration on the dynamics between politics and law as well as
identities and legal history. Studying the socialist
interpretations of legal history reveals the ways in which the 20th
century legal scholars, situated between legal renewal and
political guidance gave legitimacy to, struggled to come to terms
with, and sketched the future of the socialist legal orders. The
book will be a valuable resource for academics and researchers
working in the areas of Legal History, Jurisprudence and Philosophy
of Law and European Studies. The Open Access version of this book,
