History
Czarist Russia
The Police was formed on May 24, 1902, as Constables Corps of Petropavel County. On June 17, 1909, The Kamchatka Oblast was established and Governor Perfilev formed the local branch of the Ministry for Internal Affairs. In 1913, the police force was formed as a new Gendarmerie. Between March and October 1917, the Politsiya departments were dissolved.
A gendarmerie or gendarmery is a military component with jurisdiction in civil law enforcement. The term gendarme is derived from the medieval French expression gens d'armes, which translates to "armed people". In France and some Francophone nations, the gendarmerie is a branch of the armed forces responsible for internal security in parts of the territory with additional duties as a military police for the armed forces. This concept was introduced to several other Western European countries during the Napoleonic conquests. In the mid twentieth century, a number of former French mandates or colonial possessions such as Lebanon, Syria, and the Republic of the Congo adopted a gendarmerie after independence.
Soviet Russia
On May 26, 1917, The Militsiya Force of Kamchatka Oblast was formed, and Zavoikinsky and Zakrzhevsky were appointed as new commanders.
Militsiya, was the name of the police forces in the Soviet Union and in several Soviet bloc countries (1945–1991), as well as in the non-aligned SFR Yugoslavia of 1945–1992; the term continues in common and sometimes official usage in some of the individual former Soviet republics such as Belarus, Tajikistan, Uzbekistan, Kyrgyzstan, as well as in the unrecognized republics of Abkhazia, South Ossetia and Transnistria.
On April 29, 1918, the Militsiya become official. On April 1, 1926, the Miltsiya was divided into the next regional departments: Petropavel, Ust-Kamchatska, Bolshers, Karagin, Tigil, Penzhin, Anadyr and Chukotka Militsiya. On June 10, 1934, the Militsiya became a part of NKVD. In 1939 the Traffic police was established.
The Chukchi Peninsula, at about 66° N 172° W, is the easternmost peninsula of Asia. Its eastern end is at Cape Dezhnev near the village of Uelen. It is bordered by the Chukchi Sea to the north, the Bering Sea to the south, and the Bering Strait to the east. The peninsula is part of Chukotka Autonomous Okrug of Russia. The peninsula is traditionally the home of tribes of the indigenous peoples of Siberia as well as some Russian settlers.
The People's Commissariat for Internal Affairs, abbreviated NKVD, was the interior ministry of the Soviet Union.
In 1946, The NKVD Directorate for Kamchatka Oblast was renamed as MVD Directorate for Kamchatka Oblast. During the Cold War, the police gained major structural changes, including the establishments of departments of forensics, economic crimes, investigation, and press.
Kamchatka Oblast was, until being incorporated into Kamchatka Krai on July 1, 2007, a federal subject of Russia. To the north, it bordered Magadan Oblast and Chukotka Autonomous Okrug. Koryak Autonomous Okrug was located in the northern part of the oblast. Including the autonomous okrug, the total area of the oblast was 472,300 square kilometres (182,400 sq mi), encompassing the southern half of the Kamchatka Peninsula. The administrative center of Kamchatka Oblast was the city of Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky. Population: 358,801 (2002 Census); 466,096 (1989 Census).
The Cold War was a period of geopolitical tension between the Soviet Union with its satellite states, and the United States with its allies after World War II. A common historiography of the conflict begins between 1946, the year U.S. diplomat George F. Kennan's "Long Telegram" from Moscow cemented a U.S. foreign policy of containment of Soviet expansionism threatening strategically vital regions, and the Truman Doctrine of 1947, and ending between the Revolutions of 1989, which ended communism in Eastern Europe, and the 1991 collapse of the USSR, when nations of the Soviet Union abolished communism and restored their independence. The term "cold" is used because there was no large-scale fighting directly between the two sides, but they each supported major regional conflicts known as proxy wars. The conflict split the temporary wartime alliance against Nazi Germany and its allies, leaving the USSR and the US as two superpowers with profound economic and political differences.
Federal Russia
In January 1993, The Directorate for combating Organised Crimes (УБОП) has been established. On May 15 in same year was established The UNON Department (Anti Drugs Department, the processor of FSKN).
On June 1, 1993, the local special force was created as Kamchatka's OMON. On July 5, 1996, the Internal Affairs Departments for Cops Investigations was created to combat the growing corruption.
After the Federal Taxes Police was dissolved, on July 1, 2003, it was decided to create the local Directorate for Tax Crimes. The Police Aviation was formed on April 19, 2004.
In May 2011, the Militsiya was renamed and again it is carrying out the previous Czarist name, Politsiya.
