The chairman of the commission, which evaluates information about individuals who collaborated with the Soviet Union's special services, believes declaring the Law on Lustration no longer in force would be "politically the nicest end." Urmonas hopes the new Seimas will do that.
Based on the remaining KGB documents, it is assumed that around 118,000 people collaborated with the Soviet Lithuania's KGB between 1940 and 1991. 36,237 personal files could have been destroyed before April 11, 1990, and 8,539 files were taken away. The remaining files make only 0.62 percent of the former KGB archives.
Following the introduction in 2000 of the deadline to come out voluntarily as collaborators with the Soviet secret services, 1,589 people in Lithuania have done that.
