Abstract
A book on politicized justice in Russia and Ukraine has long been overdue— and not only because of the topicality and seriousness of the problem, which the author, Maria Popova, recognizes very well. Impartial and independent courts are crucial for Ukraine’s integration into the European Union, and we are only left to hope that sooner or later such courts will become an urgent issue for Russia as well. The problem is made graphic in this book through a photo on the front cover that depicts the 2011 hearing o f the case of Iuliia Tymoshenko, the former Prime Minister of Ukraine. Standing behind her in court is a special division of the militia.
