Trying to make law matter : legal reform and labor law in the Soviet Union
One of the most pressing issues of our time is the possibility of rebuilding the rule of law in former Leninist countries as part of the transition to a market democracy. Despite formal changes in legislation and an increased attention to law in the rhetoric of policy makers, institutionalizing the rule of law has proven to be an immensely difficult challenge. Leninist regimes destroyed popular faith in law and legal institutions and, like other transitional regimes, contemporary post-communist Russia lacks the necessary institutional infrastructure to facilitate the growth of the rule of law
