Abstract
The article analyzes the operational documentation of the Police Department and the Moscow Guard Department, concerning topics related in one way or another to the Russo-Japanese war of 1904–1905. The authors consider the controversial issue of drafting reserve officers, who served as policemen, into the army; officials’ correspondence on the issue of double salaries of police officers who had been drafted to the front. The article includes reports from the heads of local investigative agencies about those who allowed themselves anti-war statements. The documents analyzed in the article are kept in the funds of the State Archive of the Russian Federation — 102 (Police Department) and 63 (Moscow Guard Department). The documents of the 58th fund (Moscow Provincial Gendarme Department) and 124th fund (Criminal departments of the first Department of the Ministry of Justice) were partially used.
