Concepts of policing during the Russian revolution, 1917–1918 / Frame, Murray

Frame, Murray	Journal Article
	0 Rating(s) & 0 Review(s)

Summary/Abstract

The disintegration of the tsarist police system in 1917 presented contemporaries with the challenge of creating an alternative and defining its purpose. This essay suggests that, despite the radical implications of the militia system that appeared, formal ideas about policing were conventional. Even the Bolsheviks, despite conceptualising the militia as ‘the people in arms’, legislated for a civilian police force that was similar to its predecessors, at least in terms of formally defined functions. The essay also suggests that debates about the militia during 1917 and 1918 are better understood within the wider context of pan-European historical models of policing.

Summary/Abstract

The extent of practical cooperation in the business of communications intelligence and communications security between the United States, France, and the United Kingdom on the Western Front has not been documented in depth. This paper will examine cryptologic cooperation between the three allies during the First World War, discuss why the relationships ended after that war, and argue that these impermanent alliances did not shape the cryptologic relationship between the U.S. and the UK that formed during the Second World War.
