Talk:Law of the Soviet Union

message: I am not sure if this section belongs here. It sounds more like something that would fit a KGB article. Perhaps it should be (re)moved? --Gatonegro 22:07, 27 March 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: Internal Security

message: I reworded some of the text with respect to the resemblance with civil law systems. It seems to be that there are some similarities, but also some substantial differences. European civil law systems were originally founded on the Napoleonic Code, which deals extensively with private property. The Soviet system was also marked with a lack of possibilities of recourses against the state, and other safeguard which are considered for granted in other legal systems.

message: The Russian word "прокурор" (transliterated prokuror) is translated not as procurator, but as public prosecutor. See, for example, Prosecutor General of the USSR.--Ring0 07:22, 9 December 2006 (UTC)

message: Can anyone give an original source or reference for this quote "not to eliminate terror ... but to substantiate it and legitimize in principle"? I have searched the Marxist Internet Archive and can find nothing - Dave Smith (talk) 02:40, 16 March 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: As no source is forthcoming, I have removed this quote.  Though I'm no fan of Lenin, I find it highly suspect that he would say such a thing—but if he did, it is probably lacking appropriate context.  I'm furthermore concerned that almost all the references in this article are from a single writer famous for his CIA-endorsed anti-Soviet activities.  Can we not balance out these sources with some primary ones?  —Psychonaut (talk) 21:41, 10 August 2010 (UTC)

message: What about the Soviet Republics with large Muslim populations and Islam's effect on the law?

replies: text: Considering that the Soviet Union was officially atheist and discouraged religion, I find it doubtful that it had any effect at all. There may have been informal enforcement of Sharia law in some parts, but that wouldn't really be the 'law' of the Soviet Union. 72.28.82.250 (talk) 20:08, 24 June 2013 (UTC)
thread_title:  Islamic Law 

message: In terms of scholarlyness, this article is extremely lacking. It does not even mention the "people's court" system that was used for minor offences. - 84.202.114.115 (talk) 22:24, 2 December 2015 (UTC)
replies: text: Perhaps you could add some information on this topic? —Psychonaut (talk) 07:28, 3 December 2015 (UTC)
