The book "Brilliant and Criminal: Chronicles of St. Petersburg Crimes" is a fascinating and highly instructive account of the criminal underworld in the capital of the Russian Empire in the second half of the 19th century.

The author, renowned St. Petersburg poet, publicist, and 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.

The book provides insight into the state of the law enforcement system, courts, police, prisons, and the specific legal relations of that era. Furthermore, readers are offered tours of crime scenes in various areas of the city (Sennaya Square, Kolomna, the area around the Obvodny Canal, Vasilievsky Island, etc.).

The publication includes an insert with rare illustrations and is intended for a wide audience.
