The action-packed, topical, and gripping novels of Nikolai Zhivotov, a St. Petersburg crime reporter and writer, were wildly popular in pre-revolutionary Russia. Zhivotov was renowned for his journalistic investigations, often conducted from the inside, taking various day jobs and infiltrating various social strata to gain a better understanding of the "case materials." He played the roles of a waiter, a cab driver, a gravedigger, and a tramp.

"Makarka the Murderer" is Zhivotov's most famous work. Like most of his novels, it is based on St. Petersburg crime reports and reveals to the reader the dark but highly colorful underbelly of life in the capital during the final years of the empire.
