This is a comprehensive analysis of the forces that are shaping legal reform in the former USSR. The book examines how traditional indigenous Russian legal values, and the 74-year experience with communism and 'socialist legality' are being combined with Western concepts of justice and due process to forge a new legal consciousness in Russia today.
