The disappearance of the USSR as a superpower, to be replaced by the Russian Federation and a host of new states, has had wide-ranging consequences in the field of law. The establishment of market economies and the need to set up institutional frameworks to foster the rule of law have precipitated comprehensive domestic law reforms in the countries concerned. The major focus of the present work, however, is on the metamorphosis of the network of international law relations, brought about by the fundamental change in the political and constitutional climate and the emergence of numerous new actors. Apart from the relations between states as the classical province of international law, the impact of international law on national legal orders has acquired overwhelming importance and the successor states of the Soviet Union have not escaped the effect of this development. Some of the most urgent questions thrown up by these developments are analyzed by a team of leading legal specialists from the Russian Federation, North America, and Western Europe.
The revised Encyclopedia follows the format of the 1973 edition. It is a compilation of nearly 500 short, factual articles on Soviet domestic and international law.
This work traces the attempt to complete the creation of a unified legal and political system in contemporary Russia. Multiple political and legal aspects of the problem are examined by both political scientists and legal scholars. The volume focuses on post-Soviet developments in Russia, especially during the Putin administration. The contributors' perspectives include constitutional law, judicial development, law reform, human rights, federalism, and international law. The collective study finds that much progress has been made toward the unification of political and legal space in Russia, although significant problems remain to be addressed in order for the process to continue to move forward.
An international team of authors looks at the role law has played in the transformation of Russia and evaluates the legal achievements of the Putin administration against the background of Russia's changing relationship with Europe.
The 'Cominternians' who staffed the Communist International in Moscow from its establishment in 1919 to its dissolution in 1943 led transnational lives and formed a cosmopolitan but closed and privileged world. The book tells of their experience in the Soviet Union through the decades of hope and terror.

Er war ein Grenzgänger sowohl auf stilistischer als auch auf persönlicher Ebene: Der deutsch-russisch-jüdische Komponist Alfred Schnittke (1934-1998) wählte im Jahr 1990 Hamburg als seinen neuen Lebensmittelpunkt, blieb jedoch weiterhin verbunden mit seiner alten Heimat Moskau und pflegte eine intensive Reisetätigkeit. Im künstlerischen Umfeld der Hansestadt entwickelte Schnittke trotz starker gesundheitlicher Beeinträchtigungen noch einmal immense Produktivität. Diese Phase ist unter biografischen wie auch kompositorischen Aspekten von besonderem musikhistorischen Interesse und steht im Fokus des vorliegenden Bandes. Analytische Einzelstudien fragen nach Merkmalen eines 'Spätwerks' und Zeichen einer gewandelten kompositorischen Identität.Mit Beiträgen vonBoris Belge | Elena Dubinets | Hans-Ulrich Duffek | Amrei Flechsig | Reinhard Flender | Stefan Keym | Inna Klause | Jürgen Köchel | Elmar Lampson | Ivana Medi? | Frank Strobel | Tim Sullivan
