Mykola Krasovsky

Mykola Krasovsky (Ukrainian: Микола Олександрович Красовський, Russian: Николай Александрович Красовский, romanized: Nikolay Krasovsky, 31 March 1871 - after 1934) was a police officer from Kyiv (then part of the Russian Empire), who played an important role as investigator during the Beilis affair, a criminal process spurred by antisemitic attitudes prevalent during that era. After the fall of Tsarism Krasovsky entered the service of the newly proclaimed Ukrainian People's Republic, becoming the chief of Ukrainian counterintelligence. For his investigatory activities Krasovsky was compared by his contemporaries to Lecoq.
