Soviet Criminal Justice Under Stalin is the first comprehensive account of Stalin's struggle to make criminal law in the USSR a reliable instrument of rule; emphasizing the initial weakness of the Soviet state and the limits of Stalin's capacity to rule. Peter Solomon also offers new perspectives on collectivization; the Great Terror; the politics of abortion; and the disciplining of the labor force. This book should appeal to anyone interested in the political; social; or legal history of the USSR; judicial reform in post-Soviet states; law in authoritarian regimes; or comparative legal development.
