Abstract
On June 22, 1941, Germany launched its war against the USSR, marking the beginning of the Soviet Union’s participation in the Great Patriotic War against foreign invaders. At that time, the War of Resistance of the Chinese People against Japanese Aggression also commenced. Both China and Russia share a common historical memory of the anti-fascist struggle - an important memory that both peoples should honor. It is noteworthy that the development of legislation during the Second World War significantly contributed to ensuring victory over the enemy. In particular, land, labor and family rights were systematically addressed to meet the unique demands of martial law. The Chinese legal system, modeled after Soviet law, united the forces of workers and peasants, empowered women, and rapidly enhanced productive capabilities. This article analyzes Soviet theories of state and law that had a considerable impact on Chinese legislation regulating labor, land and family relations during the period of the Chinese Soviet Republic and throughout the Second World War. It reveals changes made to legislation during the war that facilitated the mobilization of labor and property resources in the rear. The purpose of this article is to identify the key factors that enabled China to withstand Japanese aggression and ultimately liberate occupied territories.
