In Murder Most Russian, Louise McReynolds uses a fascinating series of murders and subsequent trials that took place in the wake of the 1864 legal reforms enacted by Tsar Alexander II to understand the impact of these reforms on Russian society before the Revolution of 1917. For the first time in Russian history, the accused were placed in the hands of juries of common citizens in courtrooms that were open to the press. Drawing on a wide array of sources, McReynolds reconstructs murders that gripped Russian society, from the case of Andrei Gilevich, who advertised for a personal secretary and beheaded the respondent as a way of perpetrating insurance fraud, to the beating death of Marianna Time at the hands of two young aristocrats who hoped to steal her diamond earrings"--Publisher's Web site. 606 $aMurder$zRussia$xHistory 606 $aTrials (Murder)$zRussia$xHistory 606 $aSociological jurisprudence$zRussia$xHistory 606 $aDetective and mystery stories, Russian$xHistory and criticism 606 $aMurder in mass media 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aMurder$xHistory. 615 0$aTrials (Murder)$xHistory. 615 0$aSociological jurisprudence$xHistory. 615 0$aDetective and mystery stories, Russian$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aMurder in mass media. 676 $a364.152/3094709034 700 $aMcReynolds$b Louise$f1952-$01029598 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910453002003321 996 $aMurder most Russian$92446116 997 $aUNINA
