Legality and justice in the Russian Empire and the Soviet Union: An interview with Stefan B. Kirmse

Interviewed by Andrea Talabér

A group of ten people standing in front of a brick building with an arched doorway, posing for a group photo. The people are arranged in two rows, with some standing on steps. The building has decorative brickwork and a wooden door with glass panels.

Stefan B. Kirmse talks to us about his ERC-funded project, In Pursuit of ‘Legality’ and ‘Justice’ – Minority Struggles in the Russian Empire and the Soviet Union (JUSTIMINO).
