Lithuania goes online with files local spies wrote for KGB

VILNIUS, Lithuania (AP) — Cold War-era espionage files that were handwritten by Lithuanians who spied for the Soviet Union are being made available online thanks to a state-funded research institute. Terese Burauskaite, director of the Genocide and Resistance Research Center of Lithuania, said Friday the documents ordinary citizens prepared for the KGB reveal "interesting details about how agents worked and reported." Burauskaite says the institute also plans to publish reports agents for the KGB, the main Soviet security agency, wrote about Lithuanian organizations in exile during the former Soviet republic's 1940-1991 Communist regimes.
