"We included everything we have and were able to find," Birutė Burauskaitė, the center's director general, told BNS on Tuesday.

Personal cases of some of the former officers are also available online. In Burauskaitė's words, cases of other former officers will be made public in the future, they are being scanned.

The list also contains cases of former chief of the State Security Department Arvydas Pocius and former foreign minister Antanas Valionis.

In 2005, an ad hoc parliametnary committee carried out an investigation into Pocius, Valionis and the Parliament vice-speaker at the time Alfredas Pekeliūnas' being part of the KGB reserve.

In June of 2010, the parliament adopted changes to the so-called Lustration Law, authorizing the Genocide and Resistance Research Center to publish KGB documents and thus complete the lustration process.
