In 2017, the Institute for Development of Freedom of Information (IDFI), together with the international network of archive experts, started carrying out the project “Enhancing Openness of State Archives in the Former Soviet Republics”. The project aimed at assessing the archives of former Soviet and Eastern Bloc countries to enable interested persons to understand the level of openness of particular archives and the accessibility of relevant documents. The openness of regime archives, preserving the documents that can become a basis for the identification and rehabilitation of victims of repression, was of paramount importance. Within the frame of the 2017-2018 project, a methodology for evaluating the openness of state archives was created and 20 state archives in 10 post-Soviet countries were evaluated. The project continued during the next years (2019-2020) and 8 new countries from eastern and central Europe were added to the rating. As a result of the project, 2 archives were evaluated in each country. |
