# What Legal injustice means in Resurrection

> Maslova’s trial exposes Russian courts — wrong verdict, class bias, and officials who treat law as career, not justice.

## Explanation

Trial chapters satirize judges longing for lunch, jurors’ confusion, procedural theater convicting Maslova for poisoned drink she did not plan. Nekhludoff realizes system produces guilt regardless of truth. Appeals fail; exile to Siberia proceeds — Fanarin’s advocacy cannot pierce hierarchy.

Legal injustice links to broader bureaucracy: prosecutors, governors, paperwork starving reform. Tolstoy had served on juries; detail feels reportorial. Concept connects to political prisoners Nekhludoff meets later — revolutionaries versus reformers in cells.
