First review of Russia and the Rule of Law

This is the first published review of the book, Russia and the Rule of Law. The writer, Dom Wightman, has instinctively understood what the book is really about, which in the end is the relationship between power and manners in the public sphere. I will let readers judge what they think of that issue, but it is certainly one of the most important in the world today - a world in which various leaders display different ideas about the exercise of power and the etiquette of restraint.
