Item description from seller

Dobbs Ferry, N.Y.: Oceana Publications, 1962. Hazard, John N[ewbold], [1909-1995]. Isaac Shapiro, [1931-]. The Soviet Legal System: Post-Stalin Documentation and Historical Commentary. Dobbs Ferry, N.Y.: Oceana Publications, 1962. 174 pages. 3 parts in 1 book. Blue textured cloth with gilt stamped spine and front cover. Near-fine. Internally clean. $20. * This work provides an in-depth analysis of the Soviet Union's legal system in the years following Joseph Stalin's death. The book is a resource for understanding post-Stalin Soviet society by offering translations of statutes, case decisions, and doctrinal commentary. The book is structured in three main parts, covering different aspects of Soviet law: Part 1: The Soviet State and Its Citizens. This section examines fundamental areas of Soviet law, such as the court system, the prosecutor's office, the bar, civil and criminal procedure, and basic civil rights. It documents the Soviet state's move away from the early communist notion that law would eventually "wither away". Part 2: Administering Soviet Socialism. This part focuses on the legal issues surrounding the administration of the Soviet economy, including the production and distribution of resources. It details the functions of collective and state farms and the role of specialized arbitration courts that resolve disputes between state-owned enterprises. Part 3: Legal Relations Between Soviet Citizens. This final part deals with the legal interactions between individuals in Soviet society. It uses examples like property disputes and succession law to illustrate how the system functions in practice. The book was praised for making Soviet legal materials accessible to lawyers and law professors in the West, allowing for a more informed comparison with other legal traditions. It serves as a valuable resource for anyone studying Soviet history and society. The book highlights the complexities and apparent contradictions within the system, such as a planned economy that still relied on contract law between state entities. By presenting translations of actual Soviet legal documents, the book allows readers to engage directly with the material rather than relying solely on interpretations.…
