Más información sobre el libro

In the modern world, Russia plays a crucial role in international political and legal affairs, making its legislation and legal perspectives highly relevant to global lawyers and politicians. To satisfy this interest, literature that captures Russian legal thought in an accessible manner is essential. Prof. Dr. Isfandiyar Aghayev's work serves this purpose, marking the first comprehensive English-language examination of Russian criminal law. This branch of law governs public relations related to criminal offenses, punishment, and penal measures, establishing the foundations for criminal liability and exemptions. The book systematically addresses both the General and Special parts of Russian criminal law, drawing from a wealth of scientific, legal, and educational resources, including decrees from the Supreme and Constitutional Courts, and various laws and normative acts. It emphasizes the importance of promoting Russian criminal legislation and the insights of notable Russian and Soviet criminologists on a global scale, thereby attracting international attention to the sophistication of Russian legal science. Additionally, the work contributes to the understanding of Russian history by providing a detailed interpretation of the country's legal thought and legislation throughout the ages. The author aims to bridge gaps that hinder international criminal law research, making this publication relevant to the global community.
