The "Political Red Cross" and the Genealogy of Rights Discourse in Revolutionary Russia

Close attention to the chaotically developing Soviet body of law was a central component of the Juridical Commission’s work, and many hours were spent studying decrees and directives that might affect its clients. In their appeals, the advokaty employed Soviet legislation whenever they found usable statutes. For example, in 1920 they petitioned on behalf of younger clients on the basis of Narkomiust (Commissariat of Justice) circulars on juvenile detainees, securing their release or at least having their cases remanded to the Commission on Underage Prisoners.97 At the end of the Civil War, with “socialist legality” in vogue among Bolshevik leaders, the advocates tried to hold even the security apparatus to state legal standards. They insisted, for example, on the enforcement of a December 1921 Narkomiust circular placing limits on indefinite preliminary detention, brazenly demanding that Cheka leaders abide by these regulations.98 Given that the Cheka was just then in the process of being reconstituted as the GPU (State Political Administration), it is perhaps unsurprising that there was no response
