Fatal Themis. Tragic Fates of Famous Russian Lawyers

The life and work of lawyers with dramatic and interesting fates, brilliant and vivid, from the numerous cohort of famous Russian legal scholars are described in this edition. In the scope of a single study, the author brings to life a whole multitude of controversial figures who lived in different eras, becoming the heroes of their time; but then buried alive, unjustly, sometimes for ideological reasons, condemned to oblivion.
