716; secret police force of the Russian Empire and part of the Ministry of Internal Affairs (MVD) in late 1800s, aided by Special Corps of Gendarmes. The primary purpose of the agency was the security of the tsar and royal family, including, but not limited to, fighting hostile organizations: terrorists ("bombists"), socialists, and revolutionaries.

Some more neat facts about the Okhrana:
+
<br>
+
1. Officially dissolved around April 1917.<br />
+
2. Performed (poor) counter-intelligence during WWI.  Poor because the      organization and the ground level captains were hardly ever on the same page... which may sound familiar.<br />
+
3. Following the 1905 Revolution the number of "Security Stations" increased from 31 in 1908 to around 60 by 1911.<br />
+
4. On 2/9/1907, the <layer id="clearforesthighlight"><layer onmouseout="javascript:gnosisDocMenu(event,false,false);" onmouseover="javascript:gnosisDocMenu(event,true,true);" class="Department of Police" style="border-bottom: 3px double rgb(0, 254, 254);" id="Organization">Department of Police</layer></layer>'s Security Section (The Okhrana) was centralized at the address of 16, Fontanka, <layer id="clearforesthighlight"><layer onmouseout="javascript:gnosisDocMenu(event,false,false);" onmouseover="javascript:gnosisDocMenu(event,true,true);" class="St. Petersburg" style="border-bottom: 3px double rgb(254, 108, 0);" id="City">St. Petersburg</layer></layer>.  This address was apparently very well known in the Russian Empire.<br />
+
5. The Okhrana tried to compromise labour movement by creating police-run trade unions.<br />
+
6. Yevno Aszef [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yevno_Azef], <layer id="clearforesthighlight"><layer onmouseout="javascript:gnosisDocMenu(event,false,false);" onmouseover="javascript:gnosisDocMenu(event,true,true);" class="Dmitry Bogrov" style="border-bottom: 3px double rgb(43, 254, 0);" id="Person">Dmitry Bogrov</layer></layer> [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dmitry_Bogrov] were both Okhrana agents.<br />

+
8. Pytor Rachovsky [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pyotr_Rachkovsky] was the first director/executive officer of the Okhrana, until 1902.<br />

Sorry if these are repeats, and they are just part of the wikipedia entries but I thought they'd be interesting to add.<br />
