"Selective Justice: Party Control under Stalin," by Eugenia Belova and Valery Lazarev, is No. 58 in the PERSA series. The Soviet justice system was controlled by the Communist Party and its members could only be disciplined by the party itself. Little is known about how justice was administered within the Communist party system, a ubiquitous and multifaceted organization that included thousands of members at different levels of administrative hierarchy. From archival documents the paper investigates both punishment and pardons and reveal that justice for party members, especially party elites, differed from that for ordinary people. Instead of punishing specific crimes and maintaining certain levels of deterrence, it enforced loyalty for the regime among party members.
