Description

For centuries, jurisprudence has been built up and developed in terms of a more or less comparable body of concepts: family, private ownership, individual rights, and the State, the necessity of which was challenged in the original program in the name of which the soviet government assumed the reins of power. What then is the fate under the soviet regime of the legal concepts thus far operative in all civilized societies? This book seeks to offer material for the answer to questions of this nature. The principal aim of the author has been to inquire into the legal protection and actual exercise of private rights in the Soviet Union, on the basis of an examination of the authentic soviet sources. Extensive quotations from these sources in the discussions in Volume I and full translations of major codes and other enactments in Volume II are intended to help the reader to form his own opinion and to check the conclusions of the author.
