  Article 58 (RSFSR Penal Code) - Wikinfo
Article 58 of the Russian SFSR Penal Code was put in force on February 25, 1927 to arrest those suspected guilty of counter-revolutionary activities.
This article introduced the formal notion of the enemy of workers: those subject to articles 58-2 — 58-13 (those under 58-1 were "traitors", 58-14 were "saboteurs").
During and after World War II, Article 58 was used to imprison many returned Soviet prisoners of war on the grounds that their capture and detainment by the Axis Powers during the war was proof that they did not fight to the death and were therefore anti-Soviet.

 Legal systems - Wex
The word 'code' in this context means that a whole area of law is laid down in one legislative document which aims to provide a closed, coherent and consistent set of propositions which, if used in good faith, can be applied to solve any dispute in that area.
Such codes also provide the general pattern of thought in the whole legal culture, acting as a default system for gaps elsewhere (for instance in the laws regulating employment or the environment).
As with the area of the ordinary non-criminal private law, the system in the 'civil law' world has developed from two main sources: first the Napoleonic codes of penal procedure (1808) and penal law (1810), and then the German penal and procedural codes (1871, 1877).

Thus people between ages 19 and 24 in 1934 are likely to account for the large over-representation of the age group 25 to 30 in 1937 and of the 31 to 35 cohort on the eve of the war.
The hypothesis of an increasingly anti-elite orientation of the penal policy is supported by data on the educational levels of labor camp inmates.
For most of those drawn into it, it was in fact a penal system: a particularly harsh, cruel, and arbitrary one, to be sure, but not necessarily a one-way ticket to oblivion for the majority of inmates.

After the Bolshevik revolution in 1917 Lenin announced that any "class enemy" could not be trusted and should be treated worse than an ordinary criminal.

It was the branch of the State Security that operated the penal system of forced labour camps and associated detention and transit camps and prisons.
During these years, hundreds of thousands of individuals were arrested and sentenced to long prison terms on the grounds of one of the multiple passages of the notorious Article 58 of the Criminal Codes of the Union republics, which defined punishment for various forms of "counterrevolutionary activities."
During World War II, Gulag populations declined sharply, owing to the mass releases of hundreds of thousands of prisoners who were conscripted and sent directly to the front lines (often into penal battalions, who were thrown into the most dangerous battles and experienced high casualty rates) and a steep rise in mortality in 1942–1943.
