The civil plaintiff in the notorious Beilis case. Author of a number of nationalist and anti-Semitic books and pamphlets.

He took the side of defenders of the organizers of pogroms in Kishinev (the trial took place in November-December 1903) and in Gomel (the trial took place from October 1904 to January 1905). At the trial of Beilis in 1913, Shmakov, along with George Zamyslovsky, acted as an attorney for a civil claim from the victim's relatives.

He acted as a right-wing and anti-Semitic figure. In 1890, he published an open letter sent to the attorneys of the Moscow district, in which Shmakov expressed concern about the increase in the number of Jews in the bar. He was a member of many black hundred-monarchist organizations.

Participated in the VII Congress of the United noble societies of Russia (February 12-13, 1911).
