Abstract

Abstract This chapter lays out the main research questions and methods, as well as raising the questions of comparative international law and the legacy of the Soviet tradition of international law for post-Soviet Russia. It explores the role that legal scholars from Estonia and the Baltic states such as Martens, Bergbohm, and Müllerson have historically played in expressing or examining Russian approaches to international law. The author’s own previous professional involvments in understanding Russian approaches to international law are revealed. Further, it is examined how predominant concepts of law and society—but also of Europe and the West as Russia’s ‘other’—may have influenced the understanding of inetrnational law in Russia. The questions of Russia’s contributions to international law and its scholarship are raised.
