This late Soviet police manual was co-written by Ivan Iurkov, Valerii Zhenilo, Farit Bogatov and Elena Galiashina. Zhenilo studied forensic examination of audio recordings of conversations, identifying voice and speech, identifying signs of editing and establishing the verbatim content of a conversation. In 1995, he published a monograph ‘Computer Phonoscopy’. F. Bogatov is the author of books ‘Solving the Problems of Law Enforcement Practice in Excel’, ‘Computer Science and Mathematics for Lawyers’. Professor E. Galiashina published the book ‘Forensic Examination’ that has been regularly reprinted up to this day. In this collective work, the authors elaborate on the use of video as evidence of a crime (or lack thereof), copying and falsifying video recordings, and studying their authenticity. They systematize the videos that the police worked with, give technical characteristics of contemporary formats, defects in video recordings that occur during copying or other actions. One of the chapters is devoted to establishing the fact of editing for the replacement of an old video fragment with new data. The text is illustrated with schemes. The bibliography lists 8 sources, most of them are Russian.
