What exactly are the communist-era secret service files now opened in Hungary?

Hungary has opened communist-era secret service files, allowing public access to records of individuals monitored by the state security service. The database includes various types of documents, such as magnetic tapes, B-logs, and No. 6 files, which contain personal information and recruitment details. However, the presence of a name in these files does not confirm that the individual was an informant. The files aim to shed light on the past while protecting the identities of those surveilled. Recruitment files will be released gradually, revealing more about individuals' interactions with state security. The process of making these documents public is ongoing due to technical challenges.
