  Okhranka - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Okhranka operated offices throughout the Russian Empire and in a number of foreign satellite agencies primarily concerned with monitoring the activities of Russian revolutionaries abroad, most notably in Paris, where Pyotr Rachkovsky was based (1884–1902).
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.
The assassination of Stolypin and the Azef case put the methods of the Okhranka under great suspicion; they were further compromised by discovering loads of similar double agents-provocateur.

 Bolshevik   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
In 1918, the Bolsheviks began to send political opponents to forced labor camps (typically in Siberia) which had originally been been established in the 19th century to deal with political dissidents and common criminals without executing them.
This was abused by the Tsarist secret police, the Okhranka, which used anti-Semitism and xenophobia as a weapon against the party.
The Jewish origins of leading Bolsheviks and their support for a policy of "World Revolution" - most notably in the case of Trotsky - led many enemies of Bolshevism to draw a picture of Communism as a political idea pursued to benefit Jewish interests.

 Fontanka 16
Fontanka 16 takes a fresh look at the feared Russian tsarist secret police, the Okhranka, during the period of the imperial regime leading up to the Revolution of 1917.
It is a fascinating account of the development of a secret police organization that was deeply rooted in tsarist Russia but provided a model for Soviet police organizations.
In many cases they were involved in a desperate effort to track down terrorists before they could assassinate government officials and members of the imperial family.

Its initial reponsibilies also included penitentiaries, firefighting, state enterprises, the state postal system, state property, construction, roads, medicine, clergy, natural resources, and nobility; most of them were transferred to other ministries and government bodies by the mid-1800s.
After the February Revolution of 1917, the Gendarmes and the Okhranka were dismissed as anti-revolutionary.
Having won the October Revolution, the Bolsheviks dismissed the tsarist police forces and formed all-proletarian Workers' and Peasants' Militsiya under NKVD of the Russian SFSR.

Hundreds of okhranka agents, policemen, agent provocateurs, traitors have been announced in the press and some pamphlets.
Besides, several hundred agents of the tsarist okhranka, some of whom also worked in the Lithuanian okhranka, have been announced in the press (and in pamphlets).
The okhranka is trying to confuse us by arresting party members whom they later expose as agent provocateurs in order to better conceal their most valuable agents, e.g.

The Okhranka scattered the Russian intelligentsia through imprisonment and exile.

 Neither Saint Nor Satan
They show that Lenin was so accomplished a faction fighter that "The Okhranka saw Lenin as a brilliant potential executor of the task demanded by the emperor: the disintegration of the Russian Social Democratic Labor Party.
The enhancement of Lenin’s career was the Okhranka’s confidential priority." The Okhranka was the tsar’s secret police force, but calling them an intelligence agency would be a misnomer.
Biographies of Lenin generally suffer from their attempts to prove him either a Satan or a secular saint.

 Fontanka 16: The Tsar's Secret Police by John Staples   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
Fontanka 16 is a weak entry in a strong field of recent books on the tsarist secret police, the Okhranka.
Although the authors' archival research and thorough reading of secondary sources occasionally provide valuable insights, their episodic and anecdotal approach is more often diverting than enlightening.
Agents were subject to inadequate supervision and control and the Okhranka was consequently scandal-ridden and ineffective.

Its very birth was particularly unsavory; as much as 60 percent of the document is a bald plagiarism from an anti-Semitic tract published in France around that time.
The Okhranka fashioned the document as the purported agreement of a group of Jewish elders meeting in Switzerland in 1897 to plot Jewish hegemony through the destruction of Christian civilization.
It was first published in Russia on the eve, and as the instrument, of the vicious 1903 Odessa pogrom.

The Protocols of the (Learned) Elders of Zion is a document purporting to describe a plan to achieve Jewish global domination.
The Protocols are an apparent forgery produced by the Tsarist Russian secret police, the Okhranka, in order to blame Jews for Russia's problems.
The reactionary Union of the Russian Nation, known as the Black Hundreds, together with the Okhranka, blamed this liberalization on the International Jewish Conspiracy, and began a program of widely disseminating the Protocols as support for pogroms and a tool to deflect attention.

Sergei Alexandrovich Nilus (Russian language: Сергей Александрович Нилус; 1862-1929) was a Russian religious writer, self-described mystic, and agent of the Imperial Russian secret police, the Okhranka.
The text of the Protocols appeared in the appendix of the third edition of the booklet, published in 1905.[http://www.silverbearcafe.com/private/NWO/nwo5.html] It impressed the Grand Duchess Elizaveta Fyodorovna enough for her to introduce Nilus into Tsar Nicholas II's court.
The details were not made public to avoid compromising the chief of secret service Pyotr Rachkovsky and his agents, but when Nicholas II learned of the results, he requested: "The Protocols should be confiscated, a good cause cannot be defended by dirty means".

 Document 32
Although there is an understanding among party members that the Trotskyists and rotten liberals can not be party members, one notes doubts [among comrades] about how the Trotskyists managed to sink to fascism, and why they confessed at the trial the way they did.
It looks like not everyone has understood clearly enough that the Trotskyists qualify as agents provocateurs and as the agents of the fascist okhranka.
We are also emphasizing [the need] to review dubious elements and to unmask the Trotskyist elements which, no doubt, exist among them.

There is evidence that the text was written by an operative of the Imperial Russian Okhranka Matvei Golovinski and was based on an early work by Maurice Joly linking Napoleon III to Machiavelli.
For Tsar Nicholas II, who was fearful of modernization and protective of his monarchy, it would have been convenient to present the growing revolutionary movement as part of a powerful world conspiracy and blame the Jews for Russia's problems.
A Russian emigre, anti-Bolshevik and anti-Fascist Vladimir Burtsev who exposed numerous Okhranka agents provocateurs in the early 1900s, served as a witness at the Berne Trial.
