After the collapse of the USSR, the archives of the security services were never opened. Society never learned the names of the KGB’s secret informants, whose numbers likely reached into the hundreds of thousands. Some of these agents continued to assist the security services, now under a new guise. Proekt investigates the grim legacy of the Leningrad KGB’s informant network-a story that began in close proximity to Russia’s current ruler, Vladimir Putin, and continues to this day. In this account, politics, intelligence agencies, sex, violence, and death intersect.

This is false. Western historians have had (partial) access to the archives of the GPU, the NKVD and the KGB after the collapse of the USSR.
