In modern historical literature, two high-profile trials of 1906 - 1908 are often associated with the name of M.F.Schultz. The first of them established the reasons for the death of the 2nd Pacific squadron of Zinovy Rozhdestvensky in the Battle of Tsushima, and in the second in the surrender of the fortress of Port Arthur. In the process dedicated to the Tsushima tragedy, Captain 2nd Rank von Schultz appeared as the prosecutor of admirals Zinovy Rozhestvensky and Nikolai Nebogatov. In the case of the surrender of Port Arthur, he acted as a defender of the former commandant of the fortress, General Konstantin Smirnov. In fact, by the time these trials began, M.F. Schultz was already a captain of the 1st rank, and served on the Black Sea, and the participant in the proceedings, obviously, was captain 2nd rank Gustav Konstantinovich von Schultz.
