The book "Brilliant and Criminal: Chronicles of St. Petersburg Crimes" is a fascinating and very instructive story dedicated to the criminal life of the capital of the Russian Empire in the second half of the 19th century. The author of the book - a famous St. Petersburg poet, publicist, historian Andrzej Ikonnikov-Galitsky - does not limit himself to stories about the most interesting and action-packed criminal cases: murders, thefts, fraud, duels, counterfeiting, etc. From the book you can learn about the state of the law enforcement system, courts, police, prisons, the peculiarities of legal relations of that era. In addition, the reader is offered a kind of excursion to the scenes of crimes committed in different areas of the city (Sennaya Square, Kolomna, the vicinity of the Obvodny Canal, Vasilievsky Island, etc.).
