Law of the Soviet Union

The Law of the Soviet Union was the law as it developed in the Soviet Union (USSR) following the October Revolution of 1917. Modified versions of the Soviet legal system operated in many Communist states following the Second World War—including Mongolia, the People's Republic of China, the Warsaw Pact countries of eastern Europe, Cuba and Vietnam. In Soviet law, the supreme state organ of power (SSOP) was the supreme articulator and defender of the legal order, and the supreme judicial organ and the supreme procuratorial organ were state organs subjugated to the SSOP's leadership.
