The prestige of common law models increased in Russia§after the demise of socialist law and trial by jury§became one of many borrowings in post-socialist§Russia. This book examines the perceptions and§attitudes of judges, procurators, and defense§attorneys concerning the use of the jury system in§Russia. The results demonstrate overall lawyers §support for the jury system. At the same time, the§book demonstrates that the law is politics and it is§not neutral or value-free. The Kremlin and the§powerful use the law as an instrument for§manipulation in order to prevent the acquittal of§anyone who has been charged. The result seems to be§that the jury system simply lies dormant, not doing§any obvious harm but not performing the function for§which it was intended. The juxtaposition suggests two§Russias: a largely invisible one that is slowly§adjusting to its Western transplant and a highly§visible, anti-Western Russia that continues the§country s tradition of autocratic rule. The book§serves a broad audience of social scientists in§fields of criminal justice, sociology, political§science, and comparative jurisprudence.
