  Okhranka - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Okhrank is notoriously known for its agents provocateurs — Dr. Jacob Zhitomirsky (a leading Bolshevik and close associate of Vladimir Lenin), Yevno Azef, and Dmitry Bogrov.

Suspects captured by the Okhranka were typically given to the normal Russian judicial system, and then either executed or sent to forced labor camps known as katorgas in extremely remote areas of northeastern Siberia, although in extraordinary circumstances, the Okhrana was permitted to conduct summary executions by hanging or firing squad.
