Abstract
In modern criminal proceedings, issues of the content and persuasiveness of speeches made by the parties to the trial in court are increasingly being raised. The past 2024 marked itself as an anniversary year for the Russian legal profession; Russia has passed the milestone of its 160th anniversary. In this regard, we have made an attempt to some extent to reveal the historical lessons of judicial negotiations in the light of the concept of the strength of evidence and their argumentative value when considering a criminal case in the court of first instance. For us, the skills that have come since 1864, when judicial reform allowed the greatest judicial speaker, defender, and expert on the human soul, Fyodor Nikiforovich Plevako, to reveal himself are cognitive. It is his judicial speeches that are the real legacy of Russian criminal proceedings.
