DEVELOPMENT OF THE INSTITUTION OF COMPULSORY ENFORCEMENT OFFICERS IN THE RSFSR IN THE FIRST DECADE OF SOVIET POWER

The article describes the history of the formation of Soviet enforcement agencies in the RSFSR in the first decade of Soviet power. The author analyses Soviet federal and regional legal acts regulating the enforcement of court decisions, as well as periodicals of that period, and archival information. The corresponding laws are compared with similar acts, which were in force in the Russian Empire. All of this allows the author to identify certain trends in the development of the institution of compulsory enforcement in that period. The author characterises the main problems in this area (low wages, low status of the service and, as a result, staff turnover, low efficiency of the work) and underlines their continued relevance.
