ABSTRACT
The criminal dishonesty of those performing a search or other aspects of the investigation; the negligence of judicial officials, including judges; the indifference of appeals courts. The situation became so serious that the Communist Party Central Committee of Belarus issued strict instructions to find the criminal at all costs; otherwise the top police officials could forget about their jobs. The Communist Party Central Committee had adopted a special decree on the organizations, and they were even sanctified by law: The Criminal Code was amended by an article that provided for liability for attacking a druzhinnik. Many druzhinniki were ready to turn the slogan “Let the ground burn under the feet of hooligans” into reality. Nikolai Zubtsov sincerely wanted to get rid of hooliganism and drunkenness, but he was convinced that this could be done by any and all means available.
