“I regret that the investigation of the center, which lasted several years, caused inappropriate and unreasonable evaluations in society, so the new management of the center decided to remove this investigation from its website,” announced the head of LGASTC, Adas Jakubauskas, during a press conference at the Seimas on Thursday.
“It has been there for three years, so there was enough time to become familiar, and the KGB document is available to everyone in the Special Archive,” said A. Jakubauskas, the new director of LGGRTC, appointed in the summer.
After the press conference, he confirmed to BNS that the KGB personal archives logbook would be removed from the www.kgbveikla.lt website.
“We will bring out the magazine. As this magazine, which was compiled by the Soviet security, is available in the Special Archive, everyone will be able to go and distribute it,” said A. Jakubauskas.
LGGRTC began publishing a list of Soviet security recruits in late 2012 and completed it in 2018. It analyzed data on 1,669 people.
The LGGRTC noted that the log book should be viewed critically: all the agents listed were recruited by the KGB or other Soviet security units, but not all wanted to cooperate with Soviet security, and not all agents were treated equally.
LGGRTC has pointed out that the magazine is not a secret document, it is freely available from the Lithuanian Special Archive. According to the provisions of the Lustration Law, only confessors are not published, there are 22 in his diary.
When announcing the cases, the fact that the actor Donatas Banionis and the conductor Saulius Sondeckis were recruited to work as KGB agents during the Soviet occupation resounded. Clergyman Vincas Sladkevičius was also recorded at the end of the magazine, but the circumstances of his recording remain unclear at the end. Other documents show that V. Sladkevičius was recruited in 1958, but did not cooperate because the agent’s work file was not opened, and a year later he was removed from the agency network and deported to Nemunėlis Radviliškis.
On the basis of the surviving documentary material of the KGB, it is assumed that in 1940-1991, around 118,000 people in Lithuania secretly cooperated with the KGB. persons.
