Gendarme fate. Notes of the General of three departments. Mikhailov A.G.

The book “Gendarme Fates” consists of biographical articles dedicated to famous historical personalities, contradictory, but left a significant mark in the history of Russian special services. Alexander Benkendorf, Sergey Zubatov and Vladimir Dzhunkovsky. People of their time, in their own way, understanding their role in the defense of the Fatherland. They are very different from each other, not like the time in which they lived and worked. But they were united by one thing - fidelity to the Motherland, a high sense of patriotism and citizenship.

The author - a former general general - did not try to conduct a historical study. He, as a contemplator, impartially analyzes both the life and the activities of the heroes in the context of time, as a professional tries to stretch the thread of logic between different times and the conditions in which the predecessors worked, with a gendarme gaze and without politicization, look at the historical events of different epochs. < /p>
