The Stalinist Constitution, written in 1936 by Bukharin, who was shot two years later, was simply gorgeous and promised freedom and rights without any conditions, generously and over the edge. Of course, it was a solid Fata Morgana, a mirage in the totalitarian Stalinist hell. And for a long time, “Sofya Vlasyevna” (Soviet power) did not risk anything with such a text, because it could not occur to anyone to demand the promised freedom.
