I created this stub for the sole reason: to disambiguate the references in articles from category:Victims of Soviet repressions, since it would be an error to understand the Soviet term as, e.g., rehabilitation (penology) or rehabilitation (political). Later I (or you) will try to write more on this controversial and painful topic. mikka (t) 19:50, 5 September 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Rename

Since rehabilitation was also used in the Eastern Bloc countries not in the USSR, I suggest Rehabilitation (law) as a better name.-- Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus | talk  21:09, 28 July 2007 (UTC)

Please read the article. It was created solely for the reason of frequent mistranslation from Russian language. In English language this notion of "law" is denoted by other words, so adding simply "law" will be incorrect. I don't know what word was used in other communist states. Since Eastern bloc is also equally called Soviet bloc, I see no identification problem with the current title. `'Míkka 03:10, 29 July 2007 (UTC)
