Celebrating the 120th Anniversary of the Birth of Professor Mikhail Shargorodsky (7, 22 Liniya, Vasilyevsky Island, 2nd floor, St. Petersburg)
The name of Mikhail Shargorodsky (1904–1973) is known far beyond the field of criminal law.

The exhibit features books and articles that trace his journey as a scholar, as well as items from his personal collection stored at the University. Professor Shargorodsky was also a bibliophile: his home library was full of both scientific publications of the 19th century and the best works of fiction, such as those published by the Academia publishing house. The library was donated to the University and is now kept in the legal section of the Gorky Scientific Library.
