Abstract

The Russian political police were constantly reformed depending on changes in the domestic political situation in the country. Since 1867, provincial gendarmerie administration became an important part of it. Starting their activities as controlling bodies, the State Police gradually turned into basic units of political investigation with broad investigative powers and with a fairly extensive range of responsibilities in general. At the same time, at the local level they remained the most massive institutions of political investigation, which existed until the fall of the tsarist regime in 1917. In the article, on the basis of archival material, the author for the first time considers the process of formation of the Perm provincial Gendarmerie Administration (PPGA) and identifies the issues faced during the formation. He also identifies PGWU officer personnel as well as for the first time he publishes lists of non-commissioned officers of the first enlistment to the PGWU observation staff.
