This dissertation, "Justice and How to Attain It in Russian Literature and Film," examines the national idea of justice and its correlation with the concepts of law and mercy in nineteenth- and twentieth-century Russian literature and film. It posits justice as a moral, socio-political and legal concept, as well as one that is inseparable from the "eternal questions" of Russian thought, such as the "unique Russian path," "Russia and the West," and "the people vs. the state." Russian law-related literary and cinematic works are analyzed in conjunction with their Anglophone counterparts, which highlights the "law-justice paradigm," legal nihilism and patrimonialism characteristic of Russian legal thought and the canon of Russian law-related literature.

520 $a This dissertation, "Justice and How to Attain It in Russian Literature and Film," examines the national idea of justice and its correlation with the concepts of law and mercy in nineteenth- and twentieth-century Russian literature and film. It posits justice as a moral, socio-political and legal concept, as well as one that is inseparable from the "eternal questions" of Russian thought, such as the "unique Russian path," "Russia and the West," and "the people vs. the state." Russian law-related literary and cinematic works are analyzed in conjunction with their Anglophone counterparts, which highlights the "law-justice paradigm," legal nihilism and patrimonialism characteristic of Russian legal thought and the canon of Russian law-related literature.
520 $a More specifically, this work focuses on literary and cinematic texts, which, in contrast to the Russian legal canon's pessimistic treatment of law-related themes, see justice prevail. Such a positive outcome becomes possible because it is assumed from the start that justice is unattainable through the standard judicial process, and so alternative methods of attaining it are used. Each of the three chapters of the dissertation, devoted to Pushkin, Leskov and Nikita Mikhalkov respectively, explores one way of attaining justice: by appealing to the authority's mercy, by clever legal tricks and by resorting to vigilante justice.
520 $a What unites the works analyzed in this dissertation, besides the fact that they all provide an account of the triumph of justice, is that none of them present justice as the ultimate goal but rather as a mere byproduct of a simple act of charity. This implicitly confirms Georgii Fedotov's hypothesis about the amalgamation of justice and mercy as a characteristic feature of Russian legal thought. Moreover, all analyzed texts evince skepticism about the power of the word, reasoning and rhetoric in legal issues: the word and verbal activity never help one to attain justice but rather obstruct it. These two insights into the specificity of the Russian understanding of law, justice and mercy constitute the basis for the present research.
