The Main Provisions of the Labor Law of the Soviet Period

The purpose of the article is to study the main provisions of the labor law of the Soviet Union era, since this period is one of the most interesting and significant in the entire history of Russia. It is marked by a large number of fateful events and processes that influenced the history of the New Russia. However, the most important thing is the reform of all spheres of public life that were neglected throughout all stages of the development of statehood. The work forms the basis of people’s relationships because work acts as an independent component of the conditions of existence from any other forms, a natural human need, without which it is impossible to develop both individual people and the state as a whole. At all times, there have been and will continue to be a number of specific features and factors due to complexity and importance. Thus, labor law should reflect the social relations that arise when applying the labor of the working class and employees in the process of their joint labor activity. As a result, labor law should be analyzed from the moment of its active formation, so that it is possible to analyze in detail the mechanisms of its structure, to be able to predict its development for the coming years, based on the historical experience of the country. During the birth of the Soviet Union, the first significant reforms were carried out. They were reflected in the legislation of that time. Thus, the study and analysis of the formation of Soviet labor law is one of large-scale steps on the way to its detailed study for the Russian state as a whole.
