Text Of The New Soviet Constitution

Constitution, text and commentary, USSR, 1977.

Constitutional Development in the USSR (1981) looks at the political institutions and practices of the Soviet state through the prism of its own constitutional texts. It contains the texts of all four Soviet constitutions, and a chapter of commentary precedes each text. An overall assessment of Soviet constitutional development is offered in the concluding chapter.

This is the official constitution of the Soviet Union as it stood in 1936. The document is arranged into various sections describing how the Union shall be organised. It lists what were the then 15 Soviet Socialist States that formed the Union which it describes as a voluntary union. It defines every aspect of life and explains how this shall be led.

Two reports by Brezhnev and the complete text of the new Constitution.
