No Correspondence Is Sacred to Russia's "Black Cabinet
Julius Ostman reports from St Petersburg on Russia's "Black Cabinet" a vast secret espionage network under the interior ministry opening and censoring private letters across Europe. The piece details how mail is opened by gendarmes, delayed, or destroyed, with bureaux from Moscow to Berlin and Rome implicated, and cites estimates that thousands of officials and millions of letters are affected yearly. It notes tensions with Britain, Japan, and Italy, and recounts historical context and methods of "perlustra tion" and "ruiboloviya" used to surveil exiles, officials, and private citizens alike.
