We continue the course of lectures on how law has changed in Russia over the centuries and invite you to watch the fourth of five fascinating lectures in the series "Russia: Law Through the Ages".
New state - new laws. After coming to power, the Bolsheviks actively formed a revolutionary new legal system. Collective farms and economic law are created. New Constitutions are adopted, and the judicial process in search of "objective truth" is deprived of its adversarial nature
In this lecture we will learn how law was organized in the era of the Soviets. And we'll figure out:
- What was the proletarian state to become?
- How did law change in the epochs of "thaw," "stagnation," and "perestroika"?
- What was a Soviet worker entitled to under the law?
