The CPSU and the Soviets

"Popular sovereignty in our country," we read in the Theses of the Central Committee of the CPSU, Fifty Years of the Great October Socialist Revolution, "is expressed above all in the soviets — representative bodies combining the features of state and civic organizations." The guidance given the soviets by the Communist Party is a vital factor in the Soviet system. This factor reflects the fundamental qualities of the political organization of socialist society. The entire course of the country's historical development has proved irrefutably that complete disclosure of the fundamental advantages of the Soviet organization of power and their utilization in the interests of socialism would be impossible in the absence of the leading role of the Party in the soviets. The relationship between the Party and the soviets in the system of socialist democracy provides the key to understanding the mechanism of popular sovereignty and reflects a fundamentally new interaction between the political leader, the state organization, and the masses of the people that is impossible under a system of exploitation. It is no accident that the apostles of anticommunism are particularly rabid in their attacks on the position of the Party in the republic of soviets, making it their primary target in their slanderous inventions and verbal attempts to subvert the principles of socialist society.     

Soviet Science in Figures

The March Plenum of the CPSU Central Committee and the Organizational and Legal Problems in Guiding Agriculture

A Plenary Meeting of the Party Central Committee took place in March 1962. It discussed a report by the First Secretary of the CPSU Central Committee, N. S. Khrushchev, entitled "The Present Stage in the Building of Communism and the Tasks of the Party in Improving Guidance to Agriculture" and adopted a comprehensive resolution on this matter.     

Corporate Chaos: The Muddled Jurisprudence of Corporate Public Figures

Public-figure determinations in libel law are enormously consequential legal decisions. The divide between public and private status for a defamation plaintiff can be – and frequently is – determinative of whether that plaintiff can succeed. Lower court rulings on how corporate plaintiffs fit into this status determination are inconsistent. Meanwhile, corporations are taking increasingly active roles in political and social controversies. This article explores the sprawling and contradictory law of corporate public figures, analyzing and critiquing lower court jurisprudence on this vital issue. The article also provides a suggested direction for clarifying the state of the law and aligning it more closely with important First Amendment values.     

The 22nd Congress of the CPSU and the Tasks of the Soviet Science of International Law

The 22nd Party Congress provided a profound analysis of the international situation and its perspectives, the new relationship between the forces of progress, peace and socialism and those of reaction and war—the forces of the obsolescent capitalist system.     

Demographic Policy in Light of the Decisions of the Twenty-Sixth Congress of the CPSU

The Communist Party of the Soviet Union and the Soviet government devote a great deal of attention to social problems, among which demographic problems occupy an important place.     

Public Figures and Stalking in the European Context

The paper presents a brief overview of the international scientific research regarding stalking, threats and attacks on public figures. A special focus lies on European research and its tradition. Particular attention is directed towards the concept of pathological fixations on public figures which covers different forms of harassment and aggressive behaviour. A closer look at the history of scientific research and relevant case examples in this area reveals that pathological fixation on public figures is a phenomenon which was described by psychiatrists as early as 150 years ago. As stalking can affect various kinds of public figures, the research presented here covers stalking of celebrities, politicians, corporate figures and royals who become the victim of harassment or violent attacks. Finally, the state of the art regarding the management of public figure stalking and harassment and the prevention of assassinations by fixated persons in Europe is reviewed.

The June Plenum of the CPSU Central Committee and Certain Questions Concerning Scientific Organization of the Struggle Against Crime

The June Plenum of the CPSU Central Committee posed the question of further intensification of ideological and educational activity, elevation of the educational and cultural level of the people, and struggle against bourgeois ideology. The primary aspects of all our ideological work at present are the training of all working people in the spirit of lofty ideals, devotion to communism, and a communist attitude toward labor and the public economy, the complete overcoming of vestiges of bourgeois attitudes and morality, the rounded and harmonious development of the personality, and the creation of a rich intellectual and moral culture.     

贪污受贿犯罪潜黑数的预测研究

综观预防犯罪的方式与作法 ,通常来源于事后的统计分析 ,从事后的分析来研究未来的犯罪现象 ,以提出预防措施。但是简单地运用事后统计分析所推测的情况 ,提出犯罪预防措施 ,显然预测指标的灵敏度不高 ,导致预防措施平淡 ,影响犯罪预防的效果。因此贪污受贿犯罪预防工作应定位于犯罪之前 ,并非犯罪之后 (除非再犯罪的预防 )。本文提出犯罪预防正是探讨如何解决这个问题。要做到明确定位科学预防 ,首先要做到科学预测 ,而做到科学预测 ,必须努力探讨科学预测方式方法。本文在预测方面 ,从预测原理、内容、方式等具体方面提出了对贪污受贿犯罪…     

论公众人物及其隐私权

公众人物是指在一定时间和空间范围内具有重要影响,并且与社会公众利益有关从而为该时空范围内的人们所广泛知晓和关注的人物。其判断标准有两个：一是社会知名度,二是与社会公共利益相关。由隐私权的基本权利性质决定,公众人物作为社会大众中的一员享有隐私权是无可争议的,公众人物的隐私权理应受到相应的法律保护。并且,基于公众人物隐私权不同于普通公民隐私权的特性,应当加大对公众人物的隐私权的保护力度。     

Problems of Research EN Party History in the Light of the Decisions of the 22nd Congress of the CPSU

The 22nd Congress of the CPSU called upon all personnel in the ideological field to increase their activity in the communist education of the working people of Soviet society, and in shaping their scientific world outlook on the basis of Marxism-Leninism. In the new Party Program adopted by the Congress we read: "The Party poses the objective of educating the entire population in the spirit of scientific communism so as to give the working people a thorough understanding of the course and prospects of world development, enabling them to analyze correctly events within the country and on a world scale, and to build their lives consciously on a communist pattern."

从经济增长驱动到法治指标驱动——中国地方法治动力机制研究

地方法治是中国法治体系的重要组成部分。地方法治发展的不同阶段,因其动力机制不同而呈现不同特点。在地方法治建设初期,法治被视作为经济建设保驾护航的工具,地方法治呈现出制度创新乃至体制突破的特点。随着国家治理目标转型升级,法治本身的价值得以凸显,原有的动力机制正在被将地方法治建设成效作为评价考核指标的法治指标动力机制所取代,法治的自主性日益增强。但无论是经济增长型还是法治指标型动力机制,均为政府主导、政绩导向,其持续性和长期效果堪忧。地方法治建设的未来发展,宜充分发挥社会公众的主体作用,培育开放协作型新动力机制。     

私权平等与身份限制——再审视“公众人物”的人格权

人格权是私人享有的权利,而私人权利又可分为公权利和私权利两个方面。"公众人物"的人格权主要涉及私法与其私权利的一面。"公众人物"的人格权与一般人的人格权并无不同,现有的限制理论均有缺憾。故我们仅需界定人格权本身而无需对其主体进行分类。不必建立"公众人物"法律概念,在人格平等的私法理念下各类主体不应被区别对待。     

The Law of Nations in The Federalist Papers

This article explores the influence of prevailing legal and political theories of inter-state relations on the formation of early American constitutional thought. Emphasis is placed on the manner in which the authors of The Federalist Papers built a legal argument against the Articles of Confederation and for the Constitution of 1786 by invoking principles of treaty law and the law of nations. It is argued that the Articles themselves resembled contemporary international treaties in format and in force. The Federalist's reliance upon such authors as Grotius, Locke, Montesquieu, and Vattel is examined in this light.
