: The archive alleged that the KGB had deep ties with international leaders and political parties, including claims of funding for the Indian National Congress and infiltration of major West German political parties. Accessing the Archive (PDFs and Books)
The only verified, complete publication of the Mitrokhin Archive remains the two books by Christopher Andrew. Any PDF claiming to be the "raw" handwritten notes of Mitrokhin is almost certainly a forgery.
For materials specifically marked as of 2021, it's possible that new research, declassification, or publication efforts might have made more information available. Official government websites, academic institutions, or reputable publishers are good sources for the most current information.
The archive covers a wide range of topics, including:
: Mitrokhin hid his notes daily in his shoes or clothes, eventually compiling them into six trunks buried beneath the floorboards of his family dacha.
: The files unmasked hundreds of "illegal" sleeper agents, including Melita Norwood , Britain's longest-serving Soviet spy, and exposed elaborate sabotage plans against Western infrastructure like power grids and dams.
