Problems of Further Development of Democratic Principles of Criminal Procedure in the Light of the Program of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union

The Party Program gives great attention to further strengthening socialist law and order and legality, and to completely eliminating crime and all its causes. In setting forth the democratic principles on which justice is based, the Party Program also notes that these fundamentals are to be further developed and improved, so that further improvement of the provisions of the law becomes a matter of major significance. In the light of these directives, it is most important to consider ideas for refinement of legislation, and in particular of legislation governing criminal procedure.     

党的组织法基本问题研究

党的组织法是党内法规中最基础、最重要的规范,其对于从严治党及增强党的执政能力、推动国家治理现代化和法治中国建设具有重要意义。党的组织法是调整与规范党组织及其运行的规范之集合,具有独特的系统建构功能和规范功能,对党的建设和党的执政能力的提升具有重要价值。当下中国正处在改革转型和走向世界的关键时期,机遇与挑战并存,党的组织法建设要服务于中国治理模式的构建,为党的执政领导提供有效的组织支撑,同时要提高党的自我治理能力并规范其组织权力的运行。此外,现行分散的组织法规范需要进行梳理修订,以加强党的组织法体系化建设,更好发挥党的组织法的基础作用。     

论列宁和俄共（布）发展先进文化的尝试

列宁和俄共（布）在无产阶级掌握政权以前提出，必须提倡先进的文化，即彻底的民主主义的文化和社会主义的文化，用这种文化教育无产阶级和人民群众，促进社会主义革命和社会主义建设事业的发展。十月革命胜利后，他们认识到先进文化是人类在旧社会创造的全部知识合乎规律的发展，苏维埃制度有利于先进文化的发展，并且采取有效措施如利用现成学校推进教育工作促进先进文化，发展社会教育促进先进文化等等。苏俄新经济政策时期，他们将发展先进文化的思想和实践提升到一个新的水平。     

论欧盟区域内的强制性规则

由于欧盟尚无统一的欧洲合同法,各成员国合同法中的强制性条款的差异成为欧洲共同市场一体化进程的阻碍之一,因此研究欧盟区域内冲突法意义上的强制性规则十分必要。基于现在欧盟无冲突法意义上关于强制性规则的立法,笔者试图依据欧盟成员国缔结并适用的罗马公约从冲突法的角度解释不同类型的强制性规则,分析它们的不同之处,并比较具代表性的欧盟成员国的强制性规则,同时讨论欧盟这一层面的现行规定及发展。     

The Party Nucleus of a Soviet

In the decisions of the Central Committee of the Party on the work of local government authorities at various levels, attention has repeatedly been called to the need to make the groups of Party members in the Soviets more active and to assure that they will influence in every way the work of the bodies of representative government. This was also emphasized in the 1971 decree of the CPSU Central Committee, "On Measures to Further Improve the Work of the District and City Soviets of Working People's Deputies."     

Membership in the Party: Elevating the Designation of Communist

Lenin's challenge is a permanent legacy to our Party: "Our task is to safeguard the firmness, the tempering, the purity of our Party. We must strive to elevate the designation and meaning of Party membership higher, and higher, and higher …" (Complete Works, vol. 7, pp. 290-91).     

略论苏联到俄罗斯法定义的变迁

从苏联到俄罗斯法的定义先后经历了三种主要观点的变化 :( 1)法律虚无主义法观点 ,( 2 )维辛斯基法的定义 ,( 3 )俄罗斯法学家理解法的多元化综合性观点。其中维辛斯基法的定义对中国法的定义产生了深远影响。这些变化主要体现了从法的阶级性观点走向法的社会性观点。当代中国不应当过分强调法的阶级性 ,社会性应当成为法的本质属性     

关于苏共执政方式转换失败的思考

苏共传统的执政模式具有权力高度集中、个人专断、滥用权力、决策失误和政治腐败等严重弊端.苏共对其执政模式的改革先后犯下了左倾和右倾错误,从而导致改革的失败.苏共执政模式的衰败是苏共丧失执政地位的重要制度性因素.在新的挑战面前,社会主义国家执政党必须实现执政方式的转换.在遵循适时、稳定和渐进原则的前提下,变具有强制性、直接性、集权性、人治性的传统执政方式为具有合法性、间接性、民主性、法治性的现代执政方式.     

延安时期对苏联宪法的引介与重释:中国共产党宪法观的历史考察

中国共产党领导的革命以俄为师,宪法的观念与实践亦是如此。延安时期,中共及进步学者围绕着苏联1936年宪法进行了广泛、详实地引介,并结合革命实际作出了重释。这一过程是中国共产党自觉传承马克思主义法学观的结果,亦与抗战时期和国民党争夺法权不无关系,最终形成了具有主体性的宪法观,即关注政治现实灵活权变的同时,又强调宪法民主性、稳定性。积极取鉴与自主制定、基本稳定与适度变革、成文宪法与不成文规范的辩证统一,构成中共宪法观的重要特征。     

国法与党规关系

全面依法治国与全面从严治党战略,是党协调推进战略部署.国法与党规关系在性质上属于有限的一般与特殊关系.具体又可表现为四种形式,即各司其职,高低覆盖,衔接一致,权利底线.     

Development of Legislative Activity of the Supreme Soviet of a Union Republic

The supreme soviet is the sole legislative body of a union republic. The laws, as well as other actions taken by a supreme soviet, expressing the sovereign will of the people as a republic, play an important creative role in resolving tasks in the building of communism. This circumstance determines the sociopolitical significance of the legislative activity of a supreme soviet. The Twenty-Fourth Congress of the CPSU put special emphasis on the fact that "the Party ascribes great importance to perfecting Soviet legislation."(1)     

Explaining economic growth in the Soviet Union, 1950–86

Production function estimates are provided for Soviet industrial production and gross national product for the period 1950–86. A variety of alternative specifications is tested, including Cobb-Douglas, constant elasticity of substitution and variable elasticity of substitution production functions, and an error correction mechanism is used to investigate the long-run properties of the estimated equation. The structural stability of the estimates is also examined. Constant-returns-to-scale Cobb-Douglas production functions suggest that the rate of total factor productivity growth in the Soviet economy has declined steadily over time, becoming negative sometime in the period between 1970 and 1980. However the extensive statistical tests can doubt on the validity of any production function estimated on Soviet data.     

The trade in people in and from the former Soviet Union

This paper focuses on the trafficking and smuggling of human beings fromand through the former Soviet Union. It explores the reasons for the risein the illegal movement of people; the groups which facilitate it; the demographics of the people who are moved and the business side, includingthe profits, the disposition of profits and the use of corruption to facilitatethe trade. With the disintegration of state control over national territory, this mass movement of people often violates national laws and the national sovereignty of the countries of the Soviet successor states and the countrieswhere the former Soviet citizens move illegally. The paper concludes that thistrade mirrors and contributes to the overall downward development of thepost-Soviet economies. In contrast, a comparative look at the respective Chinese developments indicates that trade in human beings tends to facilitatethe growth of both the Chinese legitimate and illegitimate economies.
