Evgeny Pashukanis

Evgeny Bronislavovich Pashukanis (Russian: Евгений Брониславович Пашуканис Lithuanian: Eugenijus Pašukanis; 23 February 1891 – 4 September 1937) was a Soviet and Lithuanian legal scholar, best known for his work The General Theory of Law and Marxism.

He advocated for a philosophy of law that the Soviet authorities considered threatening to their regime. He was executed in 1937 after Stalinists, including Andrey Vyshinsky, accused him of plotting to overthrow the Soviet state.
