We continue the course of lectures on how the law in Russia has changed over the centuries and invite you to watch the third of five fascinating lectures in the series "Russia: Law Through the Ages":
Attempts to legislate the absolute power of the emperor, the desire of the court to independence, the systematization of laws - the path to the status of a state of law was not easy. But it was during this time that reforms were made, the results of which we still benefit from today.
In this lecture we will follow the history of law from Peter the Great to Nicholas II. And we will learn:
Why was the legal policy of Peter the Great not always objective?
When did the first lawyers, investigators and prosecutors appear in Russia?
Why did the terrorist Vera Zasulich get away with her attempted assassination of the governor?
