Abstract

The purpose of this Article is to examine how the pre- and postreform nineteenth-century Russian legal institutions were reflected in literature of that time and to analyze why the literary theme that has been so common and strong in Anglophonic literature-the lawyer, judge, and jury as hero-never appeared in Russia.
