Abstract
This chapter looks at the jury system in Russia. As they took an active part in interpreting laws and administering justice, Russian jurors—broadly conceived to include all who joined in the discourse of verdicts—gained confidence in their ability to participate in making policies. Jurors drew their legal values from multiple sources: the criminal code, personal experience, religion, and the political culture of autocracy. Intrinsic to the jury is its function as a representative of community interests prepared to defy those of the state when the two come into conflict. Through their verdicts, jurors assign meanings to crimes that reflect prevailing attitudes toward the law that has been breached. Referred to across time and geography as the “public conscience,” the jury provides unprecedented cultural access to local values because it imposes justice according to local standards.
