Help - NKGB/MGB military regiments research
I am looking for information about the activities/duties of the MGB's 88 Rifle Regiment. I have recently acquired a stunning award flag for this regiment and want to print some information to hang next to the flag. However, just from a cursory search of the Internet, I think I'm in for a much more laborious task than Google is going to accommodate.:(
Is there a resource available to the general public about security service armies? Does anyone know of a person who can access this kind of information? I understand that the VV NKVD and VV MGB were assigned some very controversial tasks during and for a number of years after the GPW and it is likely that any information would be sanitized for Western or any public consumption, but I'll even take that. I also understand that I discover unpleasant things about this particular regiment (and the 57 VV NKVD Rifle Regiment that I'm also looking into), but that is the chance one takes with security service research. I wouldn't be in the least surprised to find that this MGB regiment was one of the ones responsible for "relocating" much of the population of the Baltic states in the late 1940s-early 1950s. I'm not saying I like what was done, but it is a part of history that I wish to know more about - from an historical point of view. I also have some anecdotal information about the MGB 88 and their involvement in eliminating Stepan Bandera supporters and other "subversive separatists" in Ukraine. But that is all I know and am making guesses at this point based on Wikipedia of all so-called sources, which makes my stomach uneasy.:) Any guiding lights on this subject would be sincerely appreciated. Phillip
