Laube, Jan Tomovich

He was born on October 17, 1889 in the estate of Leias Taleni of the Smiltene parish of Livonia province, into a Latvian peasant family. The roots of his ancestors in Smiltene parish date back to the so-called "Swedish" times: for several generations they owned a house passed from generation to generation. ^[1] It can be assumed that they were prosperous people, so the son Janis was able to get a secondary medical education ( paramedic ).

From 1908 to 1911 he worked as a baker.

From January 10, 1924 to February 16, 1926 - head of the TsAU (Central Administrative Administration) of Crimea, Head of the Main Administration of Crimean Detention Places.

The difficult ways of reforming the police structures of the Crimean Autonomous Soviet Socialist Republic clearly illustrate the difficult processes that were inherent in the autonomy of the period when Soviet power was established on the peninsula. Instead of the liquidated NKVD of Crimea in the winter of 1924, the Central Administrative Office (TSAU) of the Crimean Autonomous Soviet Socialist Republic was created on the peninsula, which carried out general management of the police, criminal investigation, registration of acts of civil status and places of detention. The autonomy TsAU consisted of six departments: administrative, police (with sub-departments of the police service, departmental police), criminal investigation department (secret operational unit, registration bureau and dog kennel), places of detention, financial-material department and secretariat. At the head of the department was the head of the TsAU of the Crimean Republic, a member of the Council of People's Commissars, subordinate only to the presidium of the Crimea CEC. The head of the TsAU was also the head of the autonomy police. In January 1924, the former chief of the main administration of places of detention (GUMZ) of the NKVD of Crimea Y. T. Laube was appointed to this post. On this in the Crimean autonomy the period of significant structural transformations practically ends.
