Summary/Abstract: The author presents a document from the Romanian Military Archives initially issued by the specialized services of counter-information in 1920. The above-mentioned material contains information about the the sepionnage activity led by Soviet militaiy service at a moment when the Soviet power was strugling to survive and impose its authority over the whole teritory of the former Russia. The Civil War and the war with Poland increased the danger, to Soviet eyes, that Romania could join other countries in their intervention against the Moscow government. This and the endless dispute over Bessarabia transformed the Eastern border of Romania in an area where spies were everywhere.
