Rabkrin's survey of the judicial investigation system in the mid-1920s and its first results
Abstract
The article is devoted to the survey carried out by the Rabkrin (Workers’ and Peasants’ Inspection) in relation to the courts, police and the public prosecutor’s office in 1923–1927. The author introduces new archive materials on the results of the revision. We consider problems of relief of people’s courts from consideration of some cases and legislation about it. The author concludes that the survey and the initiatives of the Rabkrin had a significant impact on the regulation of issues of jurisdiction of the courts, as well as on the Soviet criminal and procedural legislation of the NEP period.
