Liaiblity For Defective Products In The Soviet Union: Socialist Law Versus Soviet Reality, Bruce L. Ottley, Younghee Jin
Northwestern Journal of International Law & Business

This Perspective demonstrates that while the socialist law of the USSR provides the tools for assuring product quality, these laws will not be successful until the Soviet Union deals with the more basic realities of its economic and legal systems.
