In fairness, I think it is important too that we look at the rotten things that the KGB did. After all, the main point of some of my arguments is that fear and ideology can bring out the worst in humanity. I have been looking for declassified KGB files.
I found this interesting archive of declassified KGB files in Harvard University. I wish they would publish translations of the Russian documents. (my Russian is a bit too rusty). http://www.fas.harvard.edu/~hpcws/index2.htm
A very interesting archive of documents declassified from Estonia, Lithuania and Latvia. http://www.kgbdocuments.eu/
