Nancy Kollmann contrasts Russian written law with its pragmatic application by local judges, arguing that this combination of formal law and legal institutions with informal, flexible practice contributed to the country's social and political stability. She also places Russian developments in the broader context of early modern European state-building strategies of governance and legal practice. She compares Russia's rituals of execution to the 'spectacles of suffering' of contemporary European capital punishment and uncovers the dramatic ways in which even the tsar himself, complying with Moscow's ideologies of legitimacy, bent to the moral economy of the crowd in moments of uprising. Throughout, the book assesses how criminal legal practice used violence strategically, administering horrific punishments in some cases and in others accommodating with local communities and popular concepts of justice. 410 0$aNew studies in European history. 517 3 $aCrime & Punishment in Early Modern Russia 606 $aCriminal law$zRussia (Federation) 606 $aPunishment$zRussia (Federation) 615 0$aCriminal law 615 0$aPunishment 676 $a364.94709/03 700 $aKollmann$b Nancy Shields$f1950-$01024306 801 0$bUkCbUP 801 1$bUkCbUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910453021503321 996 $aCrime and punishment in early modern Russia$92475429 997 $aUNINA
