The article examines the relationship between sabotage and the decision to create an All-Russian Emergency Commission for Combating Counterrevolution and Sabotage. In particular, the author draws attention to the fact that the threat of large-scale sabotage served as a catalyst for political and legal processes in December 1917 and, as a result, the reaction to it changed the process of subsequent formation of the legal regulation system to combat this threat and influenced the further development of the structure of the security agencies of the Soviet Republic, determining their place and powers in the state system.
