Résumé

World War II had a severe impact on Stalinist government and society and represented in many ways a turning point for Soviet history as well as for the history of Stalinism. In accordance with more recent research on Late Stalinism this volume wants to underline the unique nature, own dynamics and logic of the last years of Stalin's dictatorship, which un doubtedly were in many ways linked to the developments of the 1930s, but nevertheless represented a period of its own right. 1 This became especially visible in the field of law and justice, where in some spheres even a relative 'normalization' of judicial practices compared to the 1930s has been noticed. The developments in the Soviet justice system during the time of war and in its aftermath were interconnected therefore most of the contributions of this volume look at these periods from an integrated perspective. But, as the articles gathered in this special issue show, the general picture remains contradictory: On the one hand, the war brought several new influences into the Soviet law and justice system, on the other hand some older patterns of prewar Stalinism or even times before that still remained in force. Looking at the topic 'from below' and paying special attention to the daily practices of jurisdiction, the articles show the hybrid and sometimes ambigu ous character of these practices in the traumatic context of war and reconstruction, the contextual and transitional nature of measures taken to enforce law and order, and the ef fects on and reactions of the Soviet people with regard to these measures.
