The judicial reform of 1864 was an attempt to radically transform Russian society, not only in the legal but also in the moral sphere. From the 1830s to the 1840s, in public discourse, the individual, the state, and its laws began to be linked by a complex network of different concepts and feelings, and the “duty of conscience” and “sense of truth” began to be perceived as means of ethical revision of Russian life available to all classes. Tatyana Borisova's study centers on the notion of conscience, which often entered into contradictory relations with the notion of legality. Why did legality and legal procedure in the Russian Empire come to be perceived by a significant part of the educated class as immoral and immoral? How did conscience acquire a great transformative power, the effect of which proved unpredictable for the reformers themselves? And why did the judicial practice generated by the changes become a bright phenomenon of Russian culture, but at the same time slowed down the formation of legal consciousness and civil society? Tatyana Borisova is a historian, Doctor of Law, Associate Professor at the National Research University Higher School of Economics in St. Petersburg.
