Expected Fall 2025. Pre-order your copy now!This newly updated Eighth Edition offers a timely and authoritative exploration of Russia’s evolving legal landscape, tailored for English-speaking lawyers, law students, and scholars. Building on the strengths of previous editions, this volume reflects the profound legal transformations that have accompanied Russia’s shifting geopolitical stance and internal developments. Key updates include Russia’s withdrawal from the jurisdiction of the European Court of Human Rights, the legal integration of Donetsk, Kherson, Lugansk, and Zaporozhe into the Russian Federation, and sweeping legislative changes enacted to support the so-called “Special Military Operation” in Ukraine. The book also examines the legal mechanisms developed to counteract international sanctions and the broader implications for business, civil rights, and international law. Designed as both a casebook and a reference, this edition features translated decisions from Russia’s highest courts, accompanied by expert commentary and thought-provoking questions. These materials not only illuminate the structure and function of Russian legal institutions but also provide insight into the practical realities of legal practice in Russia today. Key Features and Chapter Highlights: - Comparative Legal Foundations: An introduction to Russian law in the context of civil and common law traditions, with insights into its imperial, socialist, and modern influences.
- Judicial System: In-depth coverage of Russia’s courts, including the Constitutional Court, Supreme Court, courts of general jurisdiction, and the Arbitrazh (commercial) courts.
- Civil and Commercial Law: Comprehensive treatment of the Civil Code, business organizations, property, contracts, liability, and intellectual property.
- Tax Law: Overview of Russia’s tax system, including VAT, income tax, and employer contributions.
- Foreign Investment Law: Legal regime for foreign investors, including strategic sectors, expropriation protections, and dispute resolution.
- Private International Law: Conflict of laws, jurisdiction, arbitration, and enforcement of foreign judgments and awards.
- Arbitrazh Procedure: Step-by-step breakdown of litigation processes, appellate review, and private arbitration.
- Challenging Government Action: Judicial review of administrative decisions and the validity of administrative rules.
- Individual Rights: Analysis of civil liberties, property rights, freedom of expression, and social rights, along with enforcement mechanisms.
- Criminal Procedure: From investigation to trial and appeal, including jury trials, plea procedures, and protections for the accused.
With decades of combined expertise, the authors present a balanced, richly detailed portrait of Russian law as it stands today, without political judgment, but with a commitment to clarity, context, and critical engagement.
