Documents of the Russian security forces, declassified in Ukraine, have become a real Klondike for investigators and journalists. Month after month, river after fate, the stories found by Eduard Andryushchenko in archival sources were recreated in statistics for Ukrainian and foreign publications. And now the stench can be seen under one cover. The heroes of these stories were various mitsi and cynical killers, agents and security forces, infiltrators and spies. Some people signify the absurdity of knowledge, and some people fight in the face of death as a miracle. Somebody is planning a swing at those close to him, and somebody else is heading to the camp through the vlasna balakusti. Who wants to deprive him of the message for the KGB, but who wants to see how he will know the result of his rich task. All these episodes allow us to better understand the complex reality of the life of Ukrainians in the minds of Radian totalitarianism.
