The Bloomsbury History of Modern Russia Series
Russia is often portrayed as a regressive, even lawless country, and yet the Russian state has played a major role in shaping and experimenting with law as an instrument of power. In Law and the Russian State, William E. Pomeranz examines Russia's legal evolution from Peter the Great to Vladimir Putin, addressing the continuities and disruptions of Russian law during the imperial, Soviet, and post-Soviet periods along the way. The book covers key themes, including:
* Law and empire
* Law and modernization
* The politicization of law
* The role of intellectuals and dissidents in mobilizing the law
* The evolution of Russian legal institutions
* The struggle for human rights
* The rule-of-law
* The quest to establish the law-based state
It also analyzes legal culture and how Russians understand and use the law. Including a useful glossary and a detailed bibliography, this is an important text for anyone seeking a sophisticated understanding of how Russian society and the Russian state have developed in the last 350 years.
William E. Pomeranz is Deputy Director of the Wilson Center's Kennan Institute in Washington, D.C, USA. He is a frequent commentator on current developments in Russia, providing analysis for CNN, NBC, NPR, Reuters, Bloomberg, and other media outlets. His scholarly publications include articles on Russian legal history and present-day Russian commercial and constitutional law.
