True or false? Although it was not enforced, the Soviet government did mandate equal pay for equal work?

Any help is appreciated! Please list your source as well (that does NOT include Wikipedia!).True or false? Although it was not enforced, the Soviet government did mandate equal pay for equal work?
It was only a declaration. It wasn't applied as so many declared things in the USSR daily practical life - human rights for instance. The source am I myself, growing up in one of the Sowiet Union many colonies, in the Czech Republic. If this is a HW of yours, I am the source, being sixty years old and fighting the system all my life. We the people are the history.True or false? Although it was not enforced, the Soviet government did mandate equal pay for equal work?
Well, the who soviet system made the common everyday person equal. Private property was not allowed (land, houses, etc). Everyone in fact did have equal pay. However, the people in charge made things corrupt because well, if you are in charge, you want special perks, etc etc etc. Brezhnev, Stalin, etc were no different. They made sure things were easy for them and everyone else at the ';top'; and made things more or less EASIER for people like scientists and everyone else, lived in common apartments. So, I would say TRUE.
sure did. They had plenty of nice laws and rules- like freedom of speech. Only if you tried to use these ';rights'; you ended up in the Goulag for 20 years





They even had a ';right to work'; law. Which meant that anyone who was not employed was arrested and sent to the Goulag- for the crime of ';social parasitism';





Of course the law applied to everyone- but not the Party bosses and their kids.








I've spent most of my life under that system- and it taught me to ignore the law because the law was less realistic than a science fiction movie
