Anatoly Fedorovich Koni: Liberal Jurist as Moralist

Abstract

On 10 February 1924, the Russian Academy of Sciences celebrated the eightieth birthday of its honorary member, the jurist and writer Anatoly Fedorovich Koni. A frail, scholarly man of Victorian sensibilities, Koni achieved prominence in the tsarist era as judge, senator, and member of the State Council, as well as essayist and literary critic.
