There is this notion that “So many things that were bad with the Soviet Union for so long can be traced back to Joseph Stalin.” One specific mentioned such thing is the 1936 Family Code. So what was it about?

Something we should ask ourselves is why did the party decide that this was a necessary action to take considering the circumstances. From my limited understanding of it was related to a decline in births and the need for more workers. This is not an excuse for its implementation simply an attempt to underatand the situation. I don’t know why but I remeber that the law targeted forced abortion. This again going on memory was because husbands at this time were pressuring their wives into having abortions. Some auxillary notes on this topic is an increase in fundings for kindergartens and other facilites that would care for children lightening the burden on women. If i could find the sources for this I will add them in later. Do remember nothing happens in a vacuum so hold your critiques until you understand the full situation and not just part of it.
