The project explores the role of law as a problem-solving strategy in post-Soviet Russia. Surveys have repeatedly confirmed Russians antipathy toward law, but have focused mostly on attitudes rather than behavior. Through a series of focus groups and follow-up interviews, the question of how disputes evolve will be studied. In the first stage of the research, people who have shared experiences (either home repair projects or personal injuries), giving rise to problems that could be redressed by mobilizing law, but could also be redressed through informal means or even ignored, will be brought together to participate in focus groups. The discussion will concentrate on the various stages of the disputing process, probing into the reasons behind the behavioral choices and the respondents? general attitudes regarding the legal system. In the second stage, in-depth ?life history? interviews will be conducted with a subset of the focus group participants. The research will be carried out during the summer of 2008 in Tomsk, Chelyabinsk, and Gregorievsk. Six focus groups will be organized at each site. Half will focus on home repair projects; the other half will focus on personal injuries. The respondents will be divided by age, with one group of people who came of age after the dissolution of the Soviet Union (born after 1970); one group who came of age during the Soviet period (born before 1970); and one mixed group. The goal is to uncover not only what motivates Russians to consult with lawyers and/or file a lawsuit, but also what discourages them from doing so. The results from this research will provide a more accurate picture of Russian legal culture, which will be valuable to policy makers and will contribute to building a theory of how the rule of law evolves.

该项目探讨了法律在后苏联俄罗斯作为解决问题的战略的作用。 调查一再证实俄罗斯人对法律的反感，但主要集中在态度而不是行为上。 通过一系列焦点小组和后续访谈，将研究争端如何演变的问题。 在研究的第一阶段，将把那些有共同经历的人（无论是房屋维修项目还是人身伤害）召集在一起，参加重点小组，这些经历引起的问题可以通过动用法律来解决，但也可以通过非正式手段来解决，甚至被忽视。 本文将围绕争议过程的各个阶段展开讨论，探讨行为选择背后的原因和被诉人。对法律的制度的普遍态度。 第二阶段，深入？生活史？将与焦点小组的一部分参与者进行访谈。 这项研究将于2008年夏天在托木斯克、车里雅宾斯克和格雷戈里耶夫斯克进行。 将在每个地点组织六个重点小组。 一半将集中在家庭维修项目;另一半将集中在人身伤害。 被调查者将按年龄划分，一组是苏联解体后成年的人（1970年以后出生）;一组是苏联时期成年的人（1970年以前出生）;一组是混合组。 我们的目标是不仅要揭示是什么促使俄罗斯人咨询律师和/或提起诉讼，而且还要揭示是什么阻止他们这样做。 这项研究的结果将提供一个更准确的俄罗斯法律的文化，这将是有价值的政策制定者，并将有助于建立一个理论的法治如何演变。
