In the 60s of the XIX century, Alexander II carried out a number of liberal reforms, one of which was the judicial one. An important innovation was the openness of jury trials and the right of any defendant to defense. Thus, by the late 70s and early 80s in St. Petersburg and Moscow, a separate group of lawyers began to stand out among lawyers, many of whom were real stars, and high-profile trials with their participation began to attract hundreds of spectators, competing with theatrical performances.
Fyodor Plevako was one of the brightest heroes of that time. In addition to his outstanding oratorical talent and natural ingenuity, he had another important feature that distinguished him from other lawyers: he was of the people. Being himself illegitimate, Plevako understood ordinary people well and really wanted to help them, which made him a national favorite. close
