Abstract:

The article analyses the criminal justice system of Soviet Lithuania: the formation of the system, its norms and institutions, the aggregate of laws, and the prosecution of criminals. It also reveals how the transformation of the Soviet regime after Stalin’s death was reflected in the legal reality. The dimension of political crime, criminal prosecution for various forms of resistance against the Soviet regime, is particularly emphasised. The research revealed that although after Stalin’s death the Soviet regime in Lithuania released its grip and Soviet law acquired more liberal features, it c

Abstract:

Although students of the Soviet period have long been fascinated with criminality, few works have studied courts and common criminals on the basis of trial records, especially during the nep. Aside from scholarly treatments of show trials, the reasoning behind judicial decisions and criminal pleas has been left to the imagination of Sovietologists. This gap is addressed by examining case files involving the primary form of appeal available to Soviet convicts: cassation. After detailing the evolution of Soviet cassation from its origins in the French Revolution and contextualizing its place in

Abstract:

The article analyzes the Soviet criminal laws containing criminal attacks against justice. Starting with the Decrees of the Council of People’s Commissars and ending with criminal codes, the Soviet legislator is trying to create a system of crimes that violate the interests of justice. The doctrinal views of scientists on the essence and types of various criminal manifestations that encroach on the foundations of judicial and public power in the Soviet state are presented.

Abstract:

This article investigates the extent to which post-Soviet states have successfully reformed the system of criminal justice that they inherited from the USSR, and in particular reduced accusatorial bias and achieved procedural fairness. I argue that with the notable exception of Estonia, these countries have not eliminated the defining features of the Soviet criminal justice, what I call ‘distorted neo-inquisitorialism’—namely the excessive power of investigators and weakness of judges.

Abstract:

Years ago Harold Berman observed that for many people in the west the term Soviet law represented a contradiction. Popular imagination found little place for law or criminal justice in a society where terror or extralegal coercion played a major role. Yet, as Berman argued, even in Stalin's Russia law and force existed side by side, and there was a “surprising degree of official compartmentalization of the legal and the extra-legal.” Berman recognized that the separation of law and terror was no accident; rather it was a product of the regime's commitment to law and the functions it could perf

Abstract:

The article focuses on the issue of acknowledging inadmissible evidence obtained in violation of the law. According to the authors, this issue can be encountered, in one way or another, in any procedural system (both at the national and international levels). In this regard, the authors substantiate the relevance and ambivalence of the issue for the Russian criminal proceedings. Also, the authors use the scientific works of scholars belonging to the Soviet, early post-Soviet and modern periods of the development of Russian criminal proceedings, as well as materials of judicial practice from va

Abstract:

Since the end of the Cold War, societies from the former Soviet Union and others throughout Eastern Europe, Africa, Asia, and Latin America have overthrown dictators and other authoritative rulers in the hope of allowing democracy, the rule of law, and human rights. In some cases, the change has been violent and drawn out, while in other cases the change has been quick and (more or less) non-violent. Regardless of whether the change has been violent or not, a crucial question during and after transition is: In what ways should post-authoritarian and/or post-conflict societies deal with their ‘

The Nuremberg verdict gave a criminal-legal assessment of the crimes of the Nazi leadership of Germany and was a kind of legal outcome of the Second World War. The verdict has become a kind of basis for the formation of the system of International Criminal Justice. Obviously, this event has always attracted and will continue to attract the attention of foreign and domestic researchers. A clear evidence of the relevance of such interest is the work of A.N.

Abstract:

In the paper, the authors attempt to analyze the legislative classification of participants in criminal proceedings. The work contains an analysis of the ratio between the concepts of "participant" and "subject" of criminal procedural relations. Having studied the approaches available in the theory of criminal procedure that existed during the period of the Soviet criminal procedure legislation and in the modern period, the authors conclude that it is unacceptable to identify the concepts of "participant" and "subject" of the criminal proceedings.

Abstract:

The paper is devoted to the study of the development of the adversarial principle in the criminal procedure of the Ukrainian SSR. In its development, the adversarial principle went through two stages. The first stage is characterized by the abolition of the main elements of adversariality introduced into criminal procedure by the judicial reform of Alexander II. The adversarial principle itself was criticized as bourgeois and alien to Soviet legal proceedings. After the adoption of the first Soviet criminal procedure acts, the criminal process, at least at the stage of trial, began to include

Comrades’ courts were a special form of public justice during the Soviet period of Russian statehood, which was adopted by almost all European countries of “people’s democracy” at the turn of the 1960s. The aim of the present research is to form a scientific understanding of the phenomenon of comradely justice, characteristic of socialist legal systems. The stated scientific problem involves understanding the essence of the system of comrades’ courts, the internal periodization of its development at the stage of Soviet statehood, and understanding the mechanism of its perception by European st
