Soviet model of law-enforcement system: theoretical aspect

In this article the author analyzes the influence of the Bolsheviks’ theoretical views on formation of the Soviet system of law enforcement authorities, legality and possibility of socialism in one country. Further development of K. Marx's doctrine on dictatorship of the proletariat and revolutionary violence is considered by V.I. Lenin. The author comes to the conclusion that theoretical basis for practical activity of the Bolsheviks in days of new economic policy is the understanding that the state of a transition period is dictatorship of the proletariat, it is performed by vanguard of the labouring class that is the communist party, and retaliatory bodies of the state are the bodies which implement the will of the party.
