Russian Law has been changing rapidly in the past decade. Last year, the year of the pandemic, Russia had its first constitutional reform since 1993 with constitutional amendments having a profound impact on the present and future of the country. Following the Constitution, other legislation has been amended to further cement the path to an authoritarian sovereignty and neoconservative ideologies. Aiming to provide introductory information of these changes, discuss their impact in depth, provide an analysis of law and its influence on society, politics, economics and environment, the Development of Russian Law program continues the Russian Law Talks series. Every month, we will invite experts and scholars from various disciplines and sectors to discuss the most important and current events in the Russian Legal life.
Last year we had many interesting discussions with multiple experts in the field. We discussed Protection of Foreign Investment in Russia, Foreign Agents 2.0: Civil Society, New Legislation on the NGOs and Educational Activities in Russia, Gender and Protest in Russia and The Arctic Environment, Sounds, and Posthuman Laws. Get inspired by our previous experts ranging from scholars, legal counsel, NGO representatives and watch the talks here.
