=== International recognition === Even though Souter had never traveled outside the United States during his years with the Supreme Court, he still gained significant recognition abroad.

Those were followed by a book, written in Russian and bearing Souter's name in the title.<ref>Петр Баренбойм, "3000 лет доктрины разделения властей: Суд Сьютера", M., 1996. / Petr Barenboim, "3000 years of the separation of powers doctrine: Souter court", Moscow, 1996; 2nd ed., 2003. / {{ISBN|5-7619-0015-7}}, http://lccn.loc.gov/2001434516 {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20211108151037/https://catalog.loc.gov/vwebv/search?searchCode=LCCN&searchArg=2001434516&searchType=1&permalink=y |date=November 8, 2021 }}</ref> Justice of the [[Constitutional Court of Russia|Constitutional Court of the Russian Federation]] Yury Danilov, reviewing the 2nd edition of the book in a Moscow English-language daily, made the following remark on Souter's position in ''[[Bush v.
