Family Law in Soviet Russia, 1917-1945.

Glass, Becky L.; Stolee, Margaret K.

Journal of Marriage and the Family, v49 n4 p893-902 Nov 1987

Discusses the intent and consequences of family law codes decreed in Soviet Union between 1917 and 1945, examining whether postrevolutionary government intended to destroy the family. Notes that Soviet policymakers did not achieve consensus on the issue of the family's role in socialist state, and legislation did not successfully alter citizens' attitudes and behavior as envisioned.
