==Overview== Formed to combat political terrorism, left-wing politics, and revolutionary activity, the Okhrana operated offices throughout the Russian Empire, as well as satellite agencies in a number of foreign countries. It concentrated on monitoring the activities of Russian revolutionaries abroad, including in Paris, where Okhrana agent Pyotr Rachkovsky (1853–1910) was based from 1884 to 1902 before he returned to service in Saint Petersburg from 1905 to 1906.
