- This work represents the only comprehensive treatment of the many dimensions of law and legality in the USSR from a critical-legal perspective. An avowedly revisionist account, it challenges and sets in its Cold War context the academic field of 'Soviet Law' at the same time as it proposes its radical reconceptualisation, as well as rehabilitating it for a very different 21st-century conjuncture and set of political and intellectual purposes. It represents a significant contribution to legal history and to social, political and legal theory, drawing on extensive Russian-language sources and English-language works in history, social theory, politics, anthropology and law.
