The FPA President pointed out the scale of Henrikh Padva's figure in the law community

The scale of the personality of the Honored Lawyer of Russia Genrikh Padva was so great that after his departure, colleagues massively sent condolences to the entire Russian legal profession. Svetlana Volodina, President of the Federal Chamber of Lawyers (FPA), told Izvestia about this on February 10.

She clarified that she met Padva when, as a well-known Moscow master, he came to a meeting with interns in the Baltic States. The young specialists hung on his every word and were happy to meet the legend.

"With every gesture, every look, every word, he showed two things: his love for his profession and his love for people. <...> He said: the ability to stand up to the end is the main quality of a person and a lawyer. And it doesn't always work out, but you need to be able to do it," Volodina concluded.
