在西方世界,死刑的存废问题是一个充满活力的论题,特别在人的问题“走红”之际,更是如此。在社会制度不同于西方世界的苏联东欧各国里,对于死刑问题有何议论?关于死刑规定有什么特点并呈现出何种趋势?这是法学工作者们感兴趣的问题。笔者想以此为题作点简介。如有疏漏,请不吝指正。 In the western world, the question of the death penalty’s existence and abolition is a dynamic topic, especially when people’s problems are becoming more and more popular. What is the argument about the death penalty in the Soviet Union and Eastern Europe where the social system is different from that in the western world? What are the characteristics and trends of the death penalty? This is an issue of interest to legal scholars. I would like to use this as a brief introduction. If any omissions, please feel free to correct me.
