The purpose of this study is to analyze the impact of the reform of the Armed forces of the USSR during the 1920s-1930s on the development of the military-legal branch of the Soviet state.
Both historical and comparative methods are used to study the development of military legislation at the stages of the "new economic policy" and industrialization. The main directions of the transformation of the military organization are determined, which are interpreted as a source of transformation of the military law of the Soviet Union in the period between the two world wars. Attention is drawn to the predetermination of the legislative process by ideological and political principles and the general political discourse of the development of socio-political relations in the USSR in the conditions of intense intra-party struggle at the turn of the 1920s-1930s. The study is based of the texts of a number of normative acts, primarily the Laws on Compulsory Military Service of 1925, 1928 and 1930.
As result, the author comes to the conclusion that there is a close relationship between the change in the doctrinal attitudes of the Soviet leadership and the adjustment of legal norms defining the order and conditions of military service in the Workers' and Peasants' Red Army. It is summarized that under the conditions of the monopoly on power of the Bolshevik Party, military law not only acted as an instrument for maintaining military discipline and combat readiness of the armed forces, but also performed broader functions, providing ideological control over the military organization of the state and being a regulator of social relations in Soviet society. The transformation of the military-legal branch is emphasized as the ruling elite abandons the radical course of initiating a world revolution and moves to building a socialist statehood.
