"We don't often think about it, but Russia has had a secret police in one form or another since 1565 when Ivan the Terrible established the Oprichnina.
This was a secret army solemnly sworn to be loyal to the Tsar, who were permitted, indeed encouraged, to commit any crime, including murder, against anyone they felt deserved punishment. Nicholas I established the Third Section which was perpetuated by his father Alexander II. The nineteenth century, under Alexander III, saw the establishment of the Okhrana
which lasted until the Revolution of 1917. Communism brought its own kinds of secret police but it was Stalin who refined the system to its most purely terrifying incarnation" [from the dust jacket] ISBN: 0880295325 Book is in Fine/As New Condition: pages bright, clean, tight, and unmarked.
