The Scholar Discussion on the Concept of Economic Law in Soviet Union in the Years 1956–1958

Summary/Abstract: Formulating the concept of economic law as one of the branches of law became possible as a result of a resumption of scholar discussion on the system of Soviet law after the 20th Congress of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union in February 1956. Argumentation in favor of the separation of economic law within the system of law, which was presented by V.S. Tadevosyan, V.P. Efimochkin and I.V. Pavlov, concerned mainly the areas of theory of law and functional aspects of research on economic law. In the field of theory of law the argumentation focused on objective separateness of social relations constituting the matter of economic law. Functional reasons corresponded to the need for deepening scholar reflection on the provisions regarding state economy, due to its dynamic growth and modifications. The concept of economic law as a separate branch of law was, however, met with criticism concerning the theoretical inadequacy of separating the matter of economic law and contradiction with the views of V.I. Lenin.
