The biggest single dump of KGB archives was from Mitrokhin, who in the burst of freedom after the union dissolved walked off with a few hundred thousand papers he'd copied (The book version is a good read).
If possible, could you point me to the book you're referring to. I'm really interested in reading this.

The original Russian is classified (Make of that what you will - the British establishment very much did not leave no rock unturned when it came to soviet infiltration), the English is (I think) available online somewhere, and the aforementioned book is a summary of his papers.
- nowandlater 6y agoThanks very much. Finding a copy from the states seems to be hit or miss. Some searching brought me here though: https://digitalarchive.wilsoncenter.org/collection/52/mitrokhin-archive https://digitalarchive.wilsoncenter.org/collection/52/mitrok... Would you call this a legitamite/equivalent source?
