Ivan Dmitrievich Putilin (1830-1893) is a legend of Russian detective work, the head of St. Petersburg's detective police, who fought criminals in the city on the Neva River for almost forty years. During this time he solved hundreds of cases, many of which became widely known, and the best of his investigations he considered those that he managed to solve "solely by logical deduction".
Putilin applied subtle psychological techniques in communicating with witnesses and criminals, thoroughly studied crime scenes. It was he who introduced into the practice of the Russian police what would later be called "undercover work": went to the hot spots, made acquaintances in the criminal world, adopted the images and manner of speech of criminals.
He told about the most interesting crimes on the pages of his memoirs "Forty Years Among Robbers and Murderers", which he wrote shortly before his death.
