Abstract

Ovaj diplomski rad istražuje kako autoritarni sustav u Rusiji koristi kaznenu politiku kao sredstvo manifestiranja svoje moći, koristeći koncept suverene moći Michela Foucaulta kao interpretacijski okvir. U radu se analiziraju različiti aspekti suverene moći kroz odabrane komponente kaznene politike, uključujući obiteljsko nasilje, smrtnu kaznu, eliminaciju i progon neistomišljenika, zatvorske uvjete i regrutiranje vojnika. Dekriminalizacijom nasilja u obitelji zakonodavstvo jača konzervativne vrijednosti koje promiču vladajuće elite, a istovremeno zanemaruje sigurnost ranjivih skupina. Smrtna kazna ostaje simbol otpora zapadnim vrijednostima, unatoč formalnom moratoriju. Progon i eliminacija političkih neistomišljenika, poput slučaja Alekseja Navaljnog, ukazuje na sustavnu upotrebu sile za suzbijanje unutarnjih prijetnji. Zatvorski sustav, obilježen zlostavljanjem i represijom, dodatno jača kontrolu suverene vlasti koja koristi zatvorenike i za vojne operacije, čime dodatno traumatizira i destabilizira društvo. Kroz ove primjere, rad pokazuje kako se suverena vlast u Rusiji manifestira kroz nasilje, represiju i kontrolu, s ciljem osiguravanja podjarmljenosti i poslušnosti svojih građana.

Abstract (english)

This thesis examines how the authoritarian system in Russia uses penal policy as a means of manifesting its power, using Michel Foucault's concept of sovereign power as an interpretive framework. The paper analyzes various aspects of sovereign power through selected components of penal policy, including domestic violence, capital punishment, elimination and persecution of dissidents, prison conditions and military recruitment. By decriminalizing domestic violence, the legislation reinforces the conservative values ​​promoted by ruling elites, while at the same time neglecting the safety of vulnerable groups. The death penalty remains a symbol of resistance to Western values, despite a formal moratorium. The persecution and elimination of political dissidents, such as the case of Alexei Navalny, points to the systematic use of force to suppress internal threats. The prison system, characterized by abuse and repression, further strengthens the control of the sovereign power, which also uses prisoners for military operations, thereby further traumatizing and destabilizing society. Through these examples, the paper shows how the sovereign power in Russia is manifested through violence, repression and control, with the aim of ensuring the subjugation and obedience of its citizens.
