‘Traitors in every family’: Hungary to unmask communist-era informants and confront past | Hungary | The Guardian
Placed side by side, the documents would stretch for three miles, enough to trace the perimeter of London’s Hyde Park. Even so, the collection is small compared with that of the Polish or Romanian secret services, Papp said. In Hungary, many files were destroyed during the 1956 anti-Soviet uprising; others disappeared during the transition of 1989, a gradual, largely peaceful process that gave the authorities time to get rid of incriminating material.
Many of the records will be incomplete, as the agent’s motivation, or extent of reporting, will remain unknown. Of the 60,000 people mentioned in the files, the archives include detailed files, background checks and statements for only 9,000 people. These will be released in February, after personal information, including details of health, addictions and sexuality, as well as information about victims, has been redacted in accordance with privacy laws.
