Complaints to the Authorities in Russia: A Trap Between Tradition and Legal Modernization (Studies in Contemporary Russia)

Utilizing extensive original research, in-depth interviews, archival materials, original texts, and examples of methods of complaint in soviet and contemporary Russia this book demonstrates the transformation of the bureaucracy of complaint from the late soviet period to today. It highlights the problem of the complaints mechanism coexisting with legitimate and successfully functioning legal institutions and its influence on legal modernization and the force of law and demonstrates more general contradictions generated by the model of justice restoration through direct appeals to the authorities.
