Abstract
Aim. To show the contribution of the Workers’ and Peasants’ Inspectorate to the reform of the Soviet land court and to the elimination of special judicial land bodies in the late 1920s.
Methodology. On the basis of archival and published materials, the proposals of Rabkrin on the reorganisation of the land court, put forward in 1927, are studied. In addition, the participation of the Rabkrin in the liquidation of the system of land commissions and possible reasons for this liquidation are de- scribed. The legislative reflection of all these changes is also shown.
Results. The study of the activities of the Workers’ and Peasants’ Inspectorate for the reorganisation of the judicial and land system allowed to form a more complete picture of the work of the land com- missions. In particular, it made it possible to understand the systemic shortcomings with which the functioning of these commissions was associated. The latter, among other things, made it possible to analyse the reasons and justification for the liquidation of special judicial bodies in the late 1920s.
Research implications. This article contributes to the study of the activities of the Soviet control bodies and special organs of justice that existed during the NEP years. The article may be useful for specialists in the history of law, judicial system and process.
