The '''People's Commissariat of the Workers' and Peasants' Inspection, also known as Rabkrin''' (; РКИ, RKI; Workers' and Peasants' Inspectorate, WPI), was a governmental establishment in the Soviet Union of ministerial level (people's commissariat) that was responsible for scrutinizing the state, local and enterprise administrations.
==Beginnings== On February 7, 1920, the All-Russian Central Executive Committee established the Rabkrin to succeed the People's Commissariat for State Control. The term "Rabkrin" comes from the Russian title, Narodniy Kommissariat Raboche-Krestyanskoy Inspektsiyi, the People's Commissariat of the Workers' and Peasants' Inspectorate. Rabkrin was put in place to ensure the effectiveness of the newly created Soviet government, which had experienced bureaucratic turmoil beginning with the Russian Revolution and had continued into the Russian Civil War.
