Second Directorate of the Soviet Lithuanian KGB

The Second Directorate of the Soviet Lithuanian KGB (Fond No 41)
The documents in the collection represent KGB activity in the sphere of counter-intelligence, persecuting various forms of expression of the anti-Soviet movement, as well as KGB work against what was understood as cultural opposition. Until the autumn of 1967 (when the 5th Department of the KGB was established), the 2nd Directorate was responsible for counter-intelligence work in ideology. From 1967, its main direction was the security of state secrets. The KGB continued to use the 2nd Directorate to fight against dissidents and opposition, but it applied a new interpretation: the underground and expressions of nationalism were seen as a danger to state secrets.

苏联立陶宛克格勃第二局（档案编号41）所收藏的文件，反映了克格勃在反间谍领域内的活动，包括对反苏运动各种表达形式的追查，以及克格勃对所谓文化反对派的工作。至1967年秋季（当时克格勃第五局成立）之前，第二局负责意识形态领域的反间谍工作。自1967年起，其主要任务转向国家机密的保护。克格勃继续利用第二局来对抗持不同政见者和反对派，但赋予了新的诠释：地下活动和民族主义表达被视为对国家机密的威胁。
