Abstract

The article analyzes the role of the gendarmerie railway police in the system of counterintelligence agencies in the Russian Empire before and during World War I. Based on documentary materials, the goals of enemy espionage on railways are revealed. Measures taken by the gendarmerie to restrict photography of railway infrastructure are examined. Through analysis of secret correspondence between gendarmerie leaders and railway department heads, categories of individuals most actively recruited by German and Austro-Hungarian intelligence for espionage are identified: prisoners of war, foreign nationals not involved in combat, and children. The organization of surveillance of foreign officials’ railway transport movements within the Russian Empire is also explored. The conclusion is drawn that the gendarmerie railway police’s ability to carry out counterintelligence tasks was complicated by their simultaneous duties as general and political police, as well as the scale of the infrastructure they were tasked with protecting.

第一次世界大战之前和期间宪兵铁路警察的反间谍活动
文章分析了第一次世界大战之前和期间宪兵铁路警察在俄罗斯帝国反间谍机构系统中的作用。研究了宪兵为限制铁路基础设施摄影而采取的措施。通过分析宪兵队领导人与铁路部门负责人之间的秘密通信,确定了德国和奥匈帝国情报部门最积极招募从事间谍活动的人员类别:战俘、未参战的外国公民和儿童。此外,还探讨了在俄罗斯帝国境内监视外国官员铁路运输活动的组织情况。得出的结论是,宪兵铁路警察执行反间谍任务的能力因其同时担任普通警察和政治警察的职责以及他们负责保护的基础设施的规模而变得复杂。
