Dmitry Nikolaevich Bludov and his contribution to the preparation of the draft Judicial Reform of 1864
The role of the outstanding Russian statesman of the XIX century Count Dmitry Nikolaevich Bludov in the preparation of the Judicial Reform of 1864 is considered. It is noted that D.N. Bludov, occupying the post of the Chief Executive of the II Department of the Own E.I. V. Chancellery, repeatedly pointed out the urgent need to reform the entire judicial system, but reasonably recommended that the emperor carry out the reform gradually in order to give the people a chance to get used to the innovations. The conclusion is made that the significance of the work of D.N. Bludova for the Judicial Reform of1864 was no less significant than the contribution of her future “fathers”.
