Fontanka 16 Book PDF Summary

This account describes the development of a secret police force that was rooted in tsarist Russia, but provided a model for Soviet police organizations. Ruud (history, U. of Western Ontario) and Stepanov (history, Russian Independent Institute of Social and Nationality Problems, Moscow) provide a comprehensive study of the tsarist secret police, the Okhranka, which was designed to catch terrorists before they assassinated Russia's leaders, during the period leading up to the Revolution of 1917. The book explores the Okhranka and its allied organization, the Gendarmes, through particular cases rather than in strictly institutional terms.
