KGB Archives. True Stories
Hurry! Only 2 Left in Stock!
Documents from the Soviet state security agencies, declassified in Ukraine, have become a real gold mine for researchers and journalists. Month after month, year after year, the stories Eduard Andriushchenko found in archival files were turned into articles for Ukrainian and foreign publications. Now they have been published under one cover. The protagonists of these stories include distinguished artists and cynical murderers, agents and secret police officers, fugitives and spies. Some sign absurd confessions, while others miraculously escape death. Some plot an assassination attempt against their relatives, while others are sent to labor camps because of their own loquacity. Some leave audacious messages for the KGB, while others watch the result of years of work being destroyed. All these episodes offer a better understanding of the complex and contradiction-filled lives of Ukrainians under Soviet totalitarianism.
