Особенности правовой институциализации народного контроля в СССР во второй половине XX века

Abstract

The paper aims to identify the basic stages and trends of legal institutionalization of people’s control bodies in the USSR in the second half of the XX century. The article analyzes normative acts, party congresses proceedings representing the formation and development of people’s control bodies in the USSR. Scientific originality of the study involves a comprehensive retrospective analysis of normative-legal foundations of people’s control in Soviet Russia. As a result, it is shown that theoretical and practical implementation of people’s control in the USSR was closely associated with the evolution of state conception: from proletarian dictatorship to public state in which CPSU (Communist Party of the Soviet Union) played a key role. Accordingly, each stage of state development was associated with a certain form of control: state, party, social; a combination of these forms resulted in the formation of a multi-level people’s control doctrine in which people’s control bodies had legal authority. Transformation of conceptual and practical basis of people’s control occurred within the existing legal framework: from “Regulations of the Workers’ and Peasants’ Inspection” to systemic constitutional legal regulation, which allowed to establish a special form of control aimed to solve urgent administrative problems of socialist society.
