Level 80 Defender

Lawyer Henry Reznik needs no introduction. He began his practice as a successful lawyer-scientist. In the mid-1980s, he gained fame for his participation in the cotton case. During the perestroika years and the first decade of the new Russia, he became well-known in matters of honor and dignity. Now his main interest is the fight against the repressive apparatus and the protection of lawyers and entrepreneurs from unjust persecution. Henry Reznik is one of the few Russian lawyers awarded the status of visiting lecturer at the Strasbourg Court of Human Rights. Dmitry Bykov described Henry Reznik's memoirs as high jumps not only due to the volleyball-sports past of the famous lawyer. The imitative, in the opinion of many, system of criminal law in Russia imposes high moral requirements on anyone, especially public lawyers. Either you are part of schemes, willingly or unwillingly, or you are a hero. There is no middle ground. Criminal prosecution is often used as a tool not only for justice but also for resolving commercial disputes, an element of competitive struggle between influence groups. Therefore, Reznik's book will interest both criminal defense lawyers and employees of law enforcement agencies and courts, as well as civil law lawyers... and everyone who encounters domestic justice.
