“…This gap is so big that one can talk of selectivity in Russian law enforcement. 15 This is in line with the Russian legal tradition with its legal dualism, formalism, technicality and instrumentalism of the law (Hendley 2011;Borisova and Burbank 2018;Kurkchiyan 2018;Baekken 2019). This legal setting shapes the preconditions for the ambivalence of power while legitimizing facial recognition technologies: the Russian authorities maintain the Law on Personal Data and simultaneously push through the innovation with contested legitimacy, which may violate this law.…”

“…Although it is well known that legal strategies of the Russian state toward Indigenous territorial rights differ markedly from those of other Circumpolar countries, less appreciated are the ways in which these vary across space within Russia. While Borisova and Burbank (2018) underscore the historical precedent for diverse, flexible approaches to law across the vast space that is Russia, 3 few studies have focused on this diversity in legislative approaches regarding Indigenous rights. We assert that the spatial informs the legal and vice versa, as Russia's regions develop and institute a variety of different legislative place-making mechanisms under the scaffold of a single spatio-legal form-that of TTPs.…”

The Difference Place Makes: Regional Legislative Approaches to Territories of Traditional Nature Use in the Russian North

et al. 2021

Indigenous northerners’ rights in the Russian Federation are legally protected at a range of levels (federal, regional, municipal), and by a diversity of types of legal acts (laws, decrees, orders, provisions). Within the complex structure of Russian federalism, the country’s regional governments elaborate upon federal laws in diverse ways and at different times. This article explores regional approaches to legislating one law on Indigenous rights, that of “Territory of Traditional Nature-Use” (territoriya traditsionnogo prirodopol’zovaniya) (TTP), identified by Indigenous leaders as the most important legal-territorial designation for protecting Indigenous livelihoods and cultures. While it is well known that legal strategies of the Russian state toward Indigenous territorial rights differ markedly from those of other Circumpolar countries, less appreciated are the ways in which these vary across space within Russia. We assert that the spatial informs the legal, documenting several illustrative approaches that regions have taken in legislating TTPs. In doing so, we demonstrate how a federal law initiative is interpreted and reimagined in place, giving rise to the potential for substantively different spatial outcomes for Indigenous persons and peoples seeking to actualize their rights to territory.

“…Юридическая профессия, как показывает Антонов, отнюдь не была краткосрочным и эксцентричным явлением в государстве произвола и чиновничьего усмотрения. Книга является своего рода выпадом против такого упрощенного представления о реалиях права в России, которое, как нам представляется, связано с особенностями развития теоретического и политического дискурса о праве (Borisova and Burbank 2018). Эксперты в сфере кредитования участвовали в деле отстаивания частных финансовых прав, оказывая важную поддержку горожанам в споре с государственными структурами еще до знаменитой судебной реформы 1864 года.…”
