Leontiy Vasilievich Dubbelt (also transliterated as Dubelt, Russian: Леонтий Васильевич Дубельт) (1792–1862) was a Russian soldier (1807-1828) and subsequently a police-chief under Emperor Nicholas I ( r. 1825–1855). Dubelt fought against the Grande Armée at the Battle of Borodino in 1812 and briefly came under suspicion of involvement in the Decembrist conspiracy of 1825. Colonel Dubelt resigned from the Imperial Russian Army in 1828 and joined the Corps of Gendarmes [1] - the Russian Empire's uniformed security police. He held senior rank from 1839 to 1856 in the feared Third Section and largely specialised in censorship. [2] In the course of his career he took part in secret-service cases involving writers and intellectuals [3][ failed verification] such as Pushkin (posthumously investigated in 1837 [4]), Lermontov (banished to the Caucasus in 1837 [5]), Saltykov-Shchedrin (arrested and exiled in 1848 [6]) and Turgenev (arrested and exiled in 1852).
В 1828 году полковник Дубельт вышел в отставку из-за столкновения с непосредственным начальством. [...] По рекомендации одного из руководителей III Отделения, А. Н. Мордвинова его приняли в Корпус жандармов.
Faced by his ministers' urgings to strengthen the bonds of censorship, and himself fearful of the revolutionary menace, Nicholas acted quickly to create the so called Menshikov Committee on 27 February to oversee both the journals and the censors. Only advocates of the strictest sort of censorship were included: Prince A. S. Menshikov, Baron Korf, Count A. S. Stroganov, D. P. Buturlin, General Dubbelt of the Third Section and P. I. Degai.
Record of the so-called 'posthumous search' signed by Zhukovskii and the Chief of the Police Headquarters, L.V. Dubelt. <7th February 15th March 1837>.
For his poem on the death of Pushkin Lermontov was exiled to the Caucasus, to the front, into the army engaged in war against the mountaineers.
