	Soviet law - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Soviet Law had some of the characteristics of civil law systems, including some similar rules of procedure and legal methodologies.
		Soviet Law did not use an adversary system, in which a plaintiff and defendant argue before a neutral judge.
		Soviet Law also guaranteed defendants the right to legal representation, and the right to be tried in their native language, or to use an interpreter.

	Evgeny Pashukanis: Course on Soviet Economic Law 2 (1935)
		Soviet law denies the division of legal norms into compulsory (rules established as obligatory for the parties – which is characteristic of public law) and optional or supplementary (certain rules established for the parties only in the case when they themselves have not decided otherwise – this is characteristic of private law).
		The law of things (the central nucleus of which is the law of property) is, on the contrary, a legal expression of the breakdown, separation and anarchy dominant in capitalist society.
		The application of law consists in the conduct of concrete legal relations under the general norms of the law (the establishment of the “nature of legal relations”) and in the derivation of a conclusion by the rules of formal logic.

		The Russian Soviet Republic is established on the principle of a free union of free nations, as a federation of Soviet national republics.
		The soviets of regions with a distinct mode of living and national composition can unite in autonomous regional unions at the head of which, as at the head of all regional unions that can be eventually formed, stand regional congresses of Soviets and their executive agencies.
		Sessions of the soviet of deputies are convened by the executive committee at its discretion, or on the demand of not less than half of the deputies to the Soviet: but at least once a week in cities and twice a week in rural areas.

		The root of Soviet psychiatry's sins lies in the system of totalitarianism itself, Gluzman said, because of its philosophically materialist nature, which assumes that all things are empirically knowable and therefore can be engineered into new forms.
		Despite international norms for the field, "Soviet psychiatry as a social institution, which was formed and functioned within the totalitarian system, could not but be totalitarian," he said.
		Soviet psychiatrists typically were divorced from such moral norms and laws that inform practice in the West and mitigate the potential subjectivity of psychiatric diagnoses.

	Human Rights and the Individual as Subject of International Law: A Soviet View
		Soviet legal doctrine traditionally regarded as subjects of international law only entities possessing not only rights or obligations arising on the basis of international law, but also able to create such norms and participate in ensuring compliance with them.
		Definite rights and obligations under international law are held, for instance, not only by inter-state organizations themselves but also by their organs and responsible persons, and by a number of international economic organizations and non-governmental organizations.
		This sort of alienation of the person from norms of international law is, as I already noted, a reflection of a statist approach to international law and to social relationships as a whole.

		Collapse of the Soviet Union in December of 1991 put a halt to the ambitious task of reforming Soviet intellectual property law.
		The old Soviet body of law no longer applied, the proposed reformed legislation was never quite officially enacted, and it was unclear what to do with the certificates of invention issued during the Soviet era under the Soviet law.
		These laws constitute the primary source of intellectual property law in the Russian Federation, and despite a number of amendments throughout the years, are still in effect today.

	Bail Reform in Ukraine: Transplanting Western Legal Concepts ...
		The Soviet legal system is generally viewed as an outgrowth of the civil law tradition, largely because the pre-revolutionary Russian empire (of which Ukraine was a part) had historically been a civil law society.
		Soviet legislation builds on the civil law tradition of system and order.”[22] The most significant distinction between socialist and traditional civil law societies was the belief that law was ultimately only “an instrument of economic and social policy.”[23] Nevertheless, “the rules of the Soviet system were highly codified,”
		Enactment of the bail statute was facilitated by a then-existing quirk in Ukraine’s laws.

		The study of Soviet law and policy has long been problematic for historians and political scientists.
