    SOVIET LAW REFORM-DATELINE MOSCOW 1957 HAROLD J. BERMANt DURING a month's stay in Moscow in August-September 1955, I learned that a larger-scale movement for law reform was underway in the Soviet Union, a movement whose dimensions could not easily be grasped by reading Soviet legal literature and the Soviet press.1 A second trip to Moscow in May 1957 yielded additional information from leading Soviet jurists-justice officials, law pro- fessors, judges-who are themselves actively participating in drafting new legis- lation and new codes.2 That one must go to Moscow to learn of salient developments in Soviet law is testimony to what is today the most shocking feature of the Soviet legal system: the existence of secret laws. On the other hand, that one can go to Moscow and be told about the contents of secret laws and the unpublicized implications of published laws testifies to a certain relaxation of the secrecy. Slowly but significantly, the importance of publicizing legislation and judicial decisions is being recognized. 3 The existence of even a limited secrecy, however, together with other re- strictions upon free discussion imposed by the Communist system, particularly the rule that once a "Party line" is adopted it is not to be publicly criticized, raises doubts as to the value of statements made by Soviet jurists. Are they worth repeating? No simple answer can be offered. Some statements are, I believe, of great value and well worth repeating; others are not.

Present-day Armenia is bounded by Georgia to the north, Iran to the south-east, Azerbaijan to the east and Turkey to the west. From 1920 to 1991 Armenia was a Soviet Socialist Republic within the USSR, but historically its land encompassed a much greater area including parts of all present-day bordering countries (see fig.). At its greatest extent it occupied the plateau covering most of what is now central and eastern Turkey (c. 300,000 sq. km) bounded on the north by the Pontic Range and on the south by the Taurus and Kurdistan mountains. During the 11th century another Armenian state was formed to the west of Historic Armenia on the Cilician plain in south-east Asia Minor, bounded by the Taurus Mountains on the west and the Amanus (Nur) Mountains on the east. Its strategic location between East and West made Historic or Greater Armenia an important country to control, and for centuries it was a battlefield in the struggle for power between surrounding empires. Periods of domination and division have alternated with centuries of independence, during which the country was divided into one or more kingdoms.
