The Anglo-Russia Commission was an office of the British Department of Information established in Saint Petersburg in 1915 that was involved in arranging war supplies from the United Kingdom to Russia.[1]

It was tasked with "propaganda distribution, use of literature and art therefore, political intelligence, and, as agent for the War Office, the dissemination of military news to non-military and non-Dominion authorities"[2]

The office was closed in the early days of March 1918 when it was reported to have "left British propaganda in Russia almost at a standstill".[3]
