Abstract:

Historian Louise McReynolds studies sensationalistic murder cases in Russia. Her analysis of court archives reveal examples of how tradition and pop culture intermingle and produce injustice. Russian judges typically sold tickets to spectators, and many of the trial transcripts were sold as books or made into films.
