- W2025367093 abstract "The history of the late imperial Russian security police has recently become something of a cottage industry, though the Zaionchkovskiis, Avrekhs, Chermenskiis, Diakins, Ganelins—even the Startsevs—have steered clear of the subject. Before 1989, when sensitive archival materials were declassified, it was [End Page 955] technically impossible to illuminate the inner workings of the system, but now that those materials are available, it seems that no major historian wants to delve into the tawdry details of the institutionalized betrayal that stood at the heart of the system, of which the secret informant was the linchpin, as one Western historian has rightly asserted. 1 Without the secret informant, argued a senior gendarme officer for operations, the security police is blind. 2 And it was precisely the documents relating to the deployment of secret informants (along with those relating to plainclothes surveillance and the interception of mail—the other two key methods of intelligence gathering) that had long been denied to researchers. Surely no self-respecting, morally sensitive historian would deign to probe the evidence of human depravity lurking within those files. Self-respecting historians, no, but, ironically, one of Russia's greatest poets—yes. In 1917, as part of the team of researchers set by the Provisional Government to investigate the crimes and abuses of the former government, Aleksandr Blok read reams of police materials and observed the interrogation of dozens of police officials. He concluded that the police apparatus was the only properly functioning institution that took into account the political situation and understood how dangerous the organized educated public was for a government in disarray, but the dying regime could not hear their loud voice any more. 3" @default.
