metadata.value: The results of the proceedings of the Commission on Revision and Implementation of the
  New Penal Code set in 1917 by the Russian Provisional Government are discussed. The various
  legal sources of penal law employed by Russian law-makers between February and October,
  1917 are specified. Changes made by the Provisional Government in the fields of Penal
  Law, Penal Executive Law and, in part, Penal Procedural Law as well as Administrative Law, are analyzed. Novelties introduced into the penal legislation included a temporary abolition
  of the death penalty and decriminalization of at least some manifestations of the freedom of
  speech. Some of the most obsolete repressive regulations of Imperial law were suitably nullified.
  The author concludes that right after the abdication of Emperor Nicholas II, the new
  Russian revolutionary authorities, consisting largely of well-trained legal professionals, tried
  to liberalize the existing penal legislation; yet as political crisis in the country deepened they
  reversed their policy toward a more repressive pattern.
