Unsubstantiated Information

The first paragraphs states that the date that the Supreme Court of the Soviet Union was created in the first paragraph was November 23, 1923. However, many secondary sources I have researched say a variety of different dates for it. I think that the first Regulation on the Supreme Court of the USSR is probably the right one which also says November 23, 1923, but I got that from the Russian language article for the page, and that was unsubstantiated too! Someone needs to find the primary source of the original law of the first Regulation on the Supreme Court of the USSR which established the Supreme Court of the Soviet Union. Secondary sources which conflict on it or just assuming what someone wrote years ago is correct because they must have magically come across the law but forgot to cite it is not good enough. We do not want another situation where someone years ago made a mistake or trolled, and now secondary sources of the Supreme Court of the Soviet Union get their information from the Wikipedia article of it to get the date, because oh, it looks like it is cited. Wrong, that citation was just the date it was dissolved, and no one realised that until now. This is what permanently changes the perception of history, even if it is just one small thing. History may be made permanently inaccurate for the Supreme Court of the Soviet Union if this is not resolved. We do not want another situation like the whole Austria-Hungary flag debacle. At least with that it was caught on to; with this we have not resolved what date it actually is.

The primary source on the date the Supreme Court of the Soviet Union must be found. However, due to sanctions against Russia, a lot of the archives are gone for us in the western geo-political bloc. Only some of the Soviet archives are backed up on Wayback Machine. Something must be done to get this original law that establishes the Supreme Court after the Union Treaty, but before it is codified into the Constitution of 1924. 120.153.215.72 (talk) 10:30, 11 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
