In Moscow, they said goodbye to lawyer Henry Padva

The farewell ceremony for the famous lawyer, Honored Lawyer of Russia Genrikh Padva was held in Moscow on February 12. The farewell ceremony took place on the territory of the Central Clinical Hospital of the Presidential Administration, attended by more than a hundred people.

"The country began to understand what a lawyer is, looking at the work of Genrikh Pavlovich Padva," Svetlana Volodina, president of the Federal Chamber of Lawyers of the Russian Federation, told Izvestia.

Honorary lawyer Elena Menshikova said he was "a whole epoch" for Russia, but for her he was primarily a teacher. She said that Padva taught protection strategies, the art of speaking, "humanity and kindness."

"There were many other lawyers, good, excellent lawyers. In any case, Genrikh Pavlovich will remain the symbol of the modern Russian legal profession. He was cool, he was witty, he was easy — I had never seen him angry, which is interesting," Mikhail Barshchevsky, another of his students, shared with Izvestia.

"I always knew that I was working next to the Knight advocate"
