VILNIUS, Lithuania (AP) — Lithuanian archive officials have released documents identifying hundreds of former KGB reserve officers and collaborators in the former Soviet republic.
Birute Burauskaite, director of the Genocide and Resistance Research Center, says the publication of the names of 238 KGB officers on Tuesday will help Lithuania "shake the KGB disease."
Two of those included former Foreign Minister Antanos Valionis and former national security chief Arvydas Pocius.
Burauskaite said Wednesday thousands of documents on KGB officials’ biographies, activities and operations — including interrogation techniques — are slated for release in the near future. Lithuania split from the Soviet Union in 1991.
