The security services in the Soviet Bloc were corrupt; names, actions and
information were included simply to meet quotas, names of people who had no
connection whatever with totalitarian activities.

I believe that publishing this kind of material (assuming that I have
interpreted what I see correctly) is utterly wrong in every respect. If
the effect would be to make Wikimedia complicit in any kind of revenge
against these alleged collaborators, we would need to share the guilt
for whatever form such revenge might take.
Unless I am advised that I have completely misinterpreted the material I
propose to delete it all beginning tomorrow evening.
