It is the district police inspector, who is importantly known only by his title and not by his name, who questions Aksyonov, accuses him of murder, and then orders him to be detained. The inspector acts as an embodiment of the corrupt nature of state institutions, especially those that purport to deliver justice. In his use of physical force and restraint against Aksyonov, he is a symbol of a justice system revolving around bodily punishment, in contrast to God’s judgment of the soul.
