By administrative means (В административном порядке, "V administrativnom poryadke") was a term used in the Soviet Union when some actions which would normally require a court decision were left to the decision of executive bodies (administration).
With respect to the imprisonment and deportation of individuals, this meant extrajudicial punishment.
