The leather-bound book "Law and Justice. Articles and speeches" A.F. Koni

Anatoly Fedorovich Koni (1844-1927) was a famous Russian lawyer, prosecutor, judicial speaker, statesman, writer, member of the State Council of the Russian Empire. Many high-profile cases and trials in tsarist Russia were investigated, conducted, fairly and legally competently evaluated precisely thanks to the efforts of A. F. Koni. He always stood on the side of the law, fought for freedom of religion, defended the rights of women. A. F. Koni was a man of "exceptional talents and exceptional services to our country. Russian Russian public figure, who closely linked his name with the best traditions of the Russian public and could serve as a model for many future generations; a deep thoughtful connoisseur and researcher of law; a subtle literary critic and historian of Russian literature and social movement, a great master of literary and living words, A. F. Koni has justly earned the grateful appreciation of Russian society..." (academician S. F. Oldenburg).
