Book “Black Robe. “Anatomy of a Russian court” will be included in the literature, which reliably reflects our murky and troubled times, when provocations and falsifications, which include the so-called “attempt on Chubais,” became an instrument of power. Never before have any criminal proceedings been so thoroughly dissected, revealing the purulent vices of the current investigative and judicial system, which makes the book an exciting, action-packed detective story. The reliability of the materials in “The Black Robe” is confirmed by audio recordings of all 72 court hearings.
