I think ot would be interesting to analyse the constitutions of other eastern bloc states. For example the first communist constitution of Czechoslovakia had passages like "The right to private ownership of land is guaranteed, except for when a law says that it should be violated. In that case, the former owner is entitled to financial compensation, except for when the law says that no compensation should be payed" and I think that is hillarious.

18:00 - yes, soviet constitution (even stalin's variant) declared that each republic can leave the union. But there was one little catch. Article says that the republic can leave the union as a result of a referendum held in accordance with the legal procedure. But the law on the procedure for holding referendums in the Soviet Union did not exist until 1991. This means that any attempt to organize a referendum was considered a crime against the state and was punishable by imprisonment or execution. So no such attemps was made until collapse of USRR. The law on referendums in the USSR was adopted for one specific case - for the legal registration of the collapse of the USSR, which in fact has already occurred at that time. And immediately after the adoption of the law, referendums were held in which unequivocal support was expressed for the withdrawal of the republics from the USSR.

Stalin's constitution and the process of its creation deserves its own episode
It was actually not predetermined how the 1936 constitution would look like and Stalin actually did not get almost anything he wanted in that document as he was outvoted by others in the government;
Additionally, the Purge was incited by the rank & file commies, not by Stalin because the beurocrats were deathly afraid of what Stalin wanted to see in his constitution: voting rights and the removal of the Party from leadership positions in the industry...

When I was in history classes and we talked about Soviet system (I am from Lithuania by the way, in case you donât recognize this, since I sometimes state this in my comments) my teacher made a joke: âThe constitution existed to get you on âtrialâ and arrest, by following itâs guaranteed right to free speech and self-expressionâ đ¤Ł
Cool video
Edit: fixed the misspelling
