The historical detective novel by the writer and lawyer Nikita Filatov is dedicated to the 150th anniversary of judicial reform and the centenary of revolutionary events in Russia. The novel is based on the fate of a real person, Vladimir Zhdanov, who at the very beginning of the twentieth century, after leaving the royal exile for anti-government agitation, became a barrister. Vladimir Zhdanov defended both the terrorist Kalyaev and the legendary Boris Savinkov at public trials, but later he himself was convicted and sent to hard labor. After the February Revolution, he became a commissar of the Provisional Government at the headquarters of the front commander Denikin, and in November he was arrested by the Bolsheviks and released only after the intervention of Ulyanov-Lenin, whom he personally knew. Under Soviet rule, Vladimir Zhdanov participated on the side of the defense in the first public trial on a false accusation of the commander of the Baltic Fleet, Admiral Shchastny, in a high-profile case of the Socialist Revolutionary Party, then he was again exiled to a settlement by the new authorities, returned, worked in the bar and in the society of Political Prisoners ... All the events described in this action-packed novel are based on the author's archival research, as well as on materials from other sources.
