NORMATIVE AND LEGAL REGULATION OF SPECIAL LEGAL REGIMES IN THE SOVIET PERIOD
The article is devoted to the analysis of the normative and legal regulation of special legal regimes during the Soviet period. The new government of Soviet Russia, radical in its views, was initially aimed at radical restructuring and destruction of the old order and sending emergency measures to fight class ideological opponents. The Soviet authorities soon enough began to use a repressive punitive policy to suppress counter-revolutionary sentiments in society. The institute of state and legal regimes was used by the new government not only as a means of establishing and strengthening power, eliminating political and ideological opponents, but also restricting freedom in society. The main feature of that time is that the actual implementation of emergency measures was conditioned by the state doctrines on revolutionary terror, the class and ideological struggle that operated for that historical period. The main vector of development of the normative and legal regulation of special legal regimes became the Great Patriotic War. The command and administrative system existed in the USSR did not envisage the development and normative consolidation of the theory’s provisions about the limits of the restriction of human and civil rights and freedoms and, taking it into consideration, by the beginning of the 1980s, there was practically no regulatory basis for the legal regulation of unpredictable technogenic accidents and unprecedented social and political conflicts that were virtually impossible within the framework of the legislation in force at that historic moment. As a response to emergency situations of social, political, natural and anthropogenic nature, it was in this historical period that the process of forming clear legal bases and developing legislation on emergency situations, which are fixed in the current legislation of the Russian Federation, began.
