Comments
- ↑ The Criminal Code of the RSFSR of 1927 contained Article 61, which provided for penalties for “refusal to perform duties, assignments or the production of works of national importance”. These, for example, included the obligations of individual farms to take grain, which had the form of solid assignments or contracts. The failure to comply with such obligations was considered as a “failure to fulfill obligations”.
