The first head of the detective police of St. Petersburg, during his lifetime, began to be called Russian Sherlock Holmes. He was a truly legendary personality. Romanes and essays wrote about him, and later films and TV shows were shot.
For forty years of work, he revealed hundreds of crimes, many of which became resonant. He talks about the most interesting, dexterous and witty crimes on the pages of his memories. In a mild and exciting manner of the classical detective novel of the beginning of the 20th century, he talks about the structure of the criminal world, with bitter sadness tells about the complex fate of robbers and killers and sympathetically talks about the victims of crimes. You have a unique trip to the criminal world of St. Petersburg at the end of the 19th and early XX centuries.
From the memoirs of the great Russian lawyer A. Koni:
“The head of the Petersburg detective police, Ivan Dmitrievich Putilin, was one of those gifted personalities whom he was able to skillfully choose and, nevertheless, skillfully hold in his hands the old Petersburg mayor F. F. Treov. By nature, Putilin was extremely gifted and, as it were, created for his position. Unusually subtle attention and extreme observation, in which there was some kind of special instinct, forcing him to peer at what everyone passes blankly, connected in it with calm restraint, great humor and a kind of crafty good-naturedness. In St. Petersburg in the first half of the 70s there was not a single large and complex criminal case, on the wanted list on which Putilin would not put his work. I had to see his amazing abilities for the study of crimes in January 1873, when the murder of Hieromonk Illarion was discovered in the Alexander Nevsky Lavra ... Late in the evening, on the same day, they gave me the murderer that the killer was arrested.
