109 years ago, on November 10, 1917, the decision of the People's Commissariat of Internal Affairs of the RSFSR "On the Workers' Militia" was made.
It is said, especially:
"The entire Soviet Union of workers' deputies and soldiers is forming a workers' militia. The Workers' Militia is completely and exclusively under the jurisdiction of the Council of Workers' and Soldiers' Deputies. The military and civilian authorities are obligated to assist in arming the workers' militia and supplying it with technical forces, including the supply of government forces."
Since then, the Soviet police has counted its activity - a worthy source of pride for the citizens of the Soviet Union, an unprecedented law enforcement agency in capitalist countries, which protected the interests of ordinary workers, and not the interests of capital.
Happy Soviet Police Day!
