This book, first published in 1970, is an important study of
Russia's security services from their earliest years to the
mid-twentieth century. Ronald Hingley demonstrates how the secret
police acted, both under the Tsars and under Soviet rule, as a key
instrument of control exercised over all fields of Russian life by
an outstandingly authoritarian state. He analyses the Tsarist Third
Section and Okhrana and their role in countering Russian
revolutionary groups, and examines the Soviet agencies as they
assumed the roles of policeman, judge and executioner. This
masterly evaluation of Russian and Soviet secret police makes
extensive use of hard-to-find Russian documentary sources, and is
the first such research that studies Russian political security
(Muscovite, Imperial and Soviet) as a whole.
