Russia plans sweeping constitutional reform reshaping soviet system
Surprising reports from Moscow describe a November session of the all union Congress of the Soviets tasked with approving a draft constitution. The document reportedly expands peasant representation, shifts to direct elections, and promises broader individual liberties including secret ballots. A new bicameral supreme soviet would replace central executive committees, with proportional selection by supreme councils of autonomous regions. The changes aim to widen citizen control while preserving press and private property protections, signaling a major shift in Soviet governance.
