The Security and Intelligence Service strongly condemns the atrocities committed by the Soviet totalitarian regime during the existence of the Moldavian SSR.
The information regarding the flagrant violations of human rights admitted during the Soviet period on the territory of the Republic of Moldova will be available for the public and academic/scientific groups, in order to rehabilitate the people who suffered, as well as to strengthen the efforts to elucidate the historical truth.
Therefore, the Security and Intelligence Service boosted the declassification process of the files stored in the institution's special state repository and started bilateral consultations with the National Agency of Archives to transfer them.
As a result, Alexandru Musteața, Director of the Security and Intelligence Service, had a meeting with Igor Cașu, Director of the National Agency of Archives, and they signed an inter-institutional cooperation agreement.
The agreement stipulates a gradual transfer of archival documents, in particular those regarding political repressions during the Soviet period and – for the first time – the files on administrative activity of the Soviet coercive institution within the Moldavian SSR.
At this stage, the Security and Intelligence Service will transfer to the National Agency of Archives over 2,000 files stored in the special state repository of the institution.
Alexandru Musteața stated that the institution will continue its efforts in selecting and processing the documents from the archives in order to facilitate their transfer to the National Agency of Archives, so that people interested in knowing the historical past of the country can have access to them.
In his turn, Igor Cașu thanked the SIS for its openness and consistent contribution to the national documentary heritage, noting that he will continue to strengthen the mutual cooperation in this field.
