The Soviet state, which arose from the October Revolution of 1917, has gone through very different phases in the space of just over seventy years and, although its supremely ideological character remained unchanged, the Kremlin's leaders felt the need to express the changing social and political dynamics on the road to the realisation of communism also on a constitutional level.

Abstract
The Soviet state, which arose from the October Revolution of 1917, has gone through very different phases in the space of just over seventy years and, although its supremely ideological character remained unchanged, the Kremlin's leaders felt the need to express the changing social and political dynamics on the road to the realisation of communism also on a constitutional level. The result was the succession of no less than four constitutions, in 1918, 1924, 1936 and 1977. Beneath the veneer of the seemingly unchanging nature of the regime and its continuity, the analysis of these documents helps to bring to light a far from unambiguous evolution and to understand certain choices of Moscow that so influenced the history of the 20th century.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
