He built up his own War College and a fairly sophisticated intelligence network of messengers and spies.

Ukases by Tsar Alexander I (reigned 18011825) required the rabbis to maintain civil information in Russian as well as Hebrew. Rabbis in the Empire all knew Hebrew and - among Ashkenazi Jewish communities - Yiddish, but few could speak Russian or other languages considered useful by the Empire such as German and Polish. For this reason, the Jewish communities chose an individual familiar with Russian and other required languages to perform this role, and put his name forward. If approved by the governmental administration, they became "official" rabbis, in the sense that they acted as the intermediary between their community and the Imperial government for the required civil and other administrative duties the government required of them.

Paul's views were ideological; much was changing across Europe, especially culturally, but Paul viewed this as a sign of social disorder and weakness. The decrees were known about and criticised internationally; for example in Scotland, The Scots Magazine declared that Paul, "probably with a view to prevent the progress of Liberty, the Emperor has attempted to check the expansion of intellect and to destroy the source of knowledge through the Empire". The authors of The Cambridge Modern History argue that on his accession, "Russia in general speedily realised the worst that had been prophesied of Paul". To this end, he issued over 2000 ukases in the course of his five-year reign.
