Abstract

The article analyses the reorganization and abolition of the Cheka in 1921-1922. The question of the causes of these events remains relevant for modern historiography. On the basis of documents from the archive of the President of the Russian Federation, the state archive of the Russian Federation and the Russian state archive of socio-political history considered external and internal factors that influenced this reform. The periodization presented by the authors also includes the time before the reorganization and abolition of the Cheka. The analysis of the events of the late 1918 - early 1919, as well as the decision-making by the country's leadership allows to understand the true causes of the reform, as well as the role of L. B. Kamenev and F. E. Dzerzhinsky in this process.
