Abstract
As part of perestroika, many significant changes were made to the Soviet legal code. However, inconsistencies and ambiguities can be identified in many of the new laws adopted under Gorbachev's leadership: on constitutional reform, on the economy and in criminal law. In particular, the 1991 Soviet criminal law reform presented few innovations compared with the previous legislation. In fact, it preserved the material element in the definition of a crime and incorporated a penal system ‐ which still included the death penalty ‐ substantially similar to its predecessor.
