Page "Cheka" Paragraph 25

On August 3, a VCheKa section for combating counterrevolution, speculation and sabotage on railways was created.

On August 7, 1918 Sovnarkom adopted a decree on the organization of the railway section at VCheKa.

Combating counterrevolution, speculation, and malfeasance on railroads was passed under the jurisdiction of the railway section of VCheKa and local Cheka.

In August 1918, railway sections were formed under the Gubcheks.

Formally, they were part of the non-resident sections, but in fact constituted a separate division, largely autonomous in their activities.

The gubernatorial and oblast-type Chekas retained in relationship to the transportation sections only control and investigative functions.
