Soviet Criminal Justice Under Stalin is the first comprehensive account in any language of Stalin's struggle to make criminal law in the USSR a reliable instrument of rule. Using declassified archives, the book reveals the story of nonpolitical justice, on the local scene as well as in the center. Contrary to conventional wisdom, Peter Solomon emphasizes the initial weakness of the Soviet state and the limits of the dictators' capacity to rule.
