The focus on law selected for the upcoming special issue of RJC seeks to address yet another facet of Russian society that has undergone a deep transition in recent years. Despite its paramount importance for the emergent civic society, in comparison to politics,
economics, entertainment and media, which have been at the forefront of public and academic discussion for some time, Russian law, particularly and crucially in its communication dimension, remains in the shadow and outside the purview not only of the public
eye but also of specialised academic research. Yet at every level – for example, those of juridical language and discourse, of legal codes and conventions and of ritualised legal acts and practices – law draws attention to its communication strategies.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"><span lang="EN-GB" style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: "Tahoma","sans-serif""></span> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"><span lang="EN-GB" style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: "Tahoma","sans-serif"">Most commonly, law in Russia expresses itself through mass media, focusing on such high-profile and tendentious cases, such as the
Vasilyeva corruption case, the Khodorkovsky quasi-political case, or the Polonsky extradition case. However, behind the scenes too the country’s population has been deeply immersed in civil litigation, suing and countersuing relatives, neighbours, co-workers
and businesses. Speedy criminal prosecution fuelled by the creation of the Federal Investigative Committee also creates an impression of a busy legal life in the new Russia. Yet, turning into a law-abiding society has proven to be harder than expected. Although
the country moved well beyond the ‘lawless’ 1990s, new challenges have emerged, revealing the lack of independence, impartiality and competence of the judiciary; the collusion of law and bureaucracy; the corruption of the police and other law-enforcement agencies;
procedural uncertainty; professional ineffectiveness and poor legal education of both defence and prosecution attorneys. These problems, some apparent and some dormant, have developed a persistent impression both in Russia and in the West that law in Russia
is not an independent entity but services a higher political authority and that justice there is arbitrary and harsh in the extreme.
