Abstract
The anti-sabotage protection of Soviet economic infrastructure during the Great Patriotic War of 1941-1945 had been a critical component of the all-national system of economic security. This function was assigned to the state security apparatus. Correspondingly, Soviet security officers had made every effort to ensure the continuous logistical provision of front army units.
