You have in your hands an independent investigation into one of the most high-profile “extremist” cases of the last decade. “Russian Bonnie and Clyde”, “natural born killers” - that’s what some media called them, because during a search they found a whole warehouse of weapons in their apartment. But who are they really? Who appointed them to this role? What passions tore the jury apart if its verdict changed twice? The high-profile case of the murder of lawyer Stanislav Markelov and journalist Anastasia Baburova in 2011 shook up our society, and then split it into those who believed in the version of the investigation - and those who doubted it. In the same way, in essence, the jury also split. The book of professional journalist and political scientist Alexander Sevastyanov puts this split on solid ground and helps to figure out what is before us - the triumph of justice or a custom-made political process. All the dramatic details of the murder and trial are presented in this exhaustive study. After reading this book, everyone will be able to answer the question of who killed Markelov and Baburova, and also who “ordered” the Tikhonov-Khasis case.
