This indicates that the justice system in Russia has been greatly biased against political prisoners because the Revolution. This could be due to the truth that the government has actually been attempting to reduce any opposition to their guideline. It is a sad reality that those who have actually been apprehended for political reasons have actually not been able to get a fair trial. This quote functions as a suggestion of the importance of a fair and unbiased justice system, and the requirement to protect the rights of political prisoners.
