Abstract. The article examines the labor policy organizing process of the Soviet state through the views of the chief ideologist V. I. Lenin. The author analyzes the reasons for the introduction of certain legislative acts on labor, as well as changes in the views of the leader. The study of V. I. Lenin’s works is particularly interesting and important due to the fact that he is considered to begin the formation of labor relations in the state. The article describes the main Leninist ideas that had an overly large impact on the creation of the first Soviet labor legislation, the formation of the bases of Soviet mobilization economy model. The author studies the leader's work on draft decrees that defined the priority tasks of the economy in the conditions of war communism, such as: the organization of universal labor service, the creation of labor armies, the conduct of subbotniks, the introduction of labor control, the creation of trade unions, the organization of socialist competitions, remuneration and its types. As a result, the author of the article comes to the conclusion that the initial ways out of the economic crisis identified in V. I. Lenin’ works as temporary ones eventually turned into the foundation on which the system of labor relations in the country, in each region and area, taking into account local specifics, was built in the first years of Soviet power. The analysis of V. I. Lenin's works, his speeches, decrees, resolutions and other sources, touching upon the issues of socialist labor organization, allows us to consider him to be the one of the main ideologists of the creation of the Soviet labor law foundations.
Keywords: labor legislation, Leninist ideas, labor organization, universal labor conscription, equalization, subbotnik, labor army, labor productivity, competition.
