Evgeny Bronislavovich Pashukanis (Russian: Евгений Брониславович Пашуканис Lithuanian: Eugenijus Pašukanis; 23 February 1891[1] – 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.[2] He was executed in 1937 after Stalinists, including Andrey Vyshinsky, accused him of plotting to overthrow the Soviet state.[2]
