Vyacheslav Alexandrovich Kalikinsky is a journalist and prose writer, author of historical novels, a member of the Union of Writers of Russia. He is known for his series of books “Agasphere”—five exciting spy retro-detectives dedicated to the work of counterintelligence in Russia of the late 19th and early 20th centuries.
This time, we want to present another major work by the author—one of his best books—dedicated to the fate of a real historical figure: Karl Landsberg, a brilliant officer who stumbled and became a criminal, but ultimately, through penance and hardship, brought a great deal of benefit to our country. There is a version that Landsberg was the prototype for the hero of Dostoevsky’s famous novel “Crime and Punishment,” Rodion Raskolnikov—though of course their biographies differ significantly.
He shone in the high society of St. Petersburg. He was promised a rapid career—up to a ministerial one. But he collapsed down those steps without even reaching the middle. The dazzling world disappeared behind the thick walls of prison. Along with society’s sentence, the criminal world passed its own verdict on Landsberg—the people whom today are called “thieves in law.”
