PROBLEMS IN THE ACTIVITIES OF LAW ENFORCEMENT AGENCIES IN THE SYSTEM OF GOVERNANCE IN TURKESTAN (on the example of the Fergana regional police)

Abstract

This article discusses the activities of the police and the "Volunteer  Police" in Turkestan in 1924, in particular in the Fergana region, the disruptions in their economic and financial supply, the reduction in the number of police, the allocation of funds and food security problems. It also provides information on the activities of the workers 'and peasants' militia in the early years of Soviet power, namely that there were two types of militiamen: state, mainly city militiamen, and volunteer militia. It is noted that the provision of police volunteers is the responsibility of the local population, which, in turn, has a certain "response" in the protection of law and order, the protection of state interests among the population.
