Special Corps of Gendarmes

1) The Special Corps of Gendarmes was the uniformed security police of the Russian Empire in the 1800s and...... 1900s. Its главными обязанностями were law enforcement and state security. The responsibilities of the Gendarmes....... included execution of court orders, chasing fugitives, riot control, and detainment of unusual criminals.

2) Following the 1825 revolt, the new tsar, Nicholas I, created the office of the Chief of Gendarmes in July 1826 and назначил General Count Alexander Benkendorf to it; all of the Gendarmes were subordinate to the Chief. Benkendorf was also appointed Executive Director of the newly-created Third Section of the Imperial Chancellery,....... the office of the Head of the Third Section was not formally merged with Chief of Gendarmes....... 1839.

3) In 1836, the Gendarmerie of the Internal Guards was transformed into the Special Corps ofGendarmes, under the Chief of Gendarmes. The Corps was divided into seven territorial Districts, six of them located in Russia and one in the Kingdom of Poland, each having a Directorate. The Army's Gendarmerie regiment joined the Corps in 1842. The Gendarmes were using Cavalry ranks of the Russian military ranks system introduced in 1826. In 1871 the Gendarmes acquired the right расследовать....... political and criminal cases, as the judicial investigators were dismissed.

4) The Third Section of His Imperial Majesty's Own Chancellery was тайное подразделение set up in Imperial Russia. The Third Section was organized into....... departments:

• I - supreme police (political crimes and enemies of the regime)
• II - counterfeiting, religious sects, murders, penitentiary, крепостное право
• III - aliens
• IV - incidents, staff matters
• V (1842) - censorship of theatre plays (performed by the 1st department since 1828)

5) Count Alexander Benkendorf was the first Head of the Section from 1826. He was the person who tried to warn Alexander I of the Decembrist plot;....... Nicholas I saw him as perfect head of the secret force. Benkendorf hoped the department would be something of a 'moral physician' to the people, an organization they trusted and respected........, the Gendarmes,....... called 'blue archangels'...... their blue and white uniforms, fulfilled this hope - they proved themselves far more efficient at maintaining law and order....... the ordinary police.

6)......, over time its reputation deteriorated as it became progressively easier заключать в тюрьму than investigate. The Third Section and Gendarmes became associated primarily with подавлением of any liberal ideas...... strict censorship on printed press and theatre plays. It was keen to repress 'dangerous' western liberal ideas, such as constitutional monarchy or even republicanism. In the end, the powerful image of the Section and the Gendarmes was largely undermined when they failed to suppress the rising revolutionary movement and acts of terrorism против правительственных чиновников.

7) Only the most competent of the Army's officers in noble ranks could join the Corps of Gendarmes. Although the Corps maintained могущественный образ, its large network of informers and agents often supplied nothing more than слухи и клевету;

the Gendarmes were obviously неспособны infiltrating real revolutionary organizations. In August 1880, both the Third Section and the Special Corps of

Gendarmes were transferred to the authority of the Minister of Internal Affairs by proposal of Count Loris-Melikov. Many Gendarme officers were transferred to then-created Department of Police.
