Even the Soviet article 58-1c, which introduced criminal penalty specifically for the family members in case they did not report the treason to authorities, only applied a) if the traitor was in the military service; b) only in cases when the treason consisted of fleeing the country. Otherwise, 58-12 would apply which did not have the capital punishment as an option.
