Russia says Wallenberg case is still open

MOSCOW — The chief archivist of Russia's counterintelligence agency said Monday the organization would continue searching for clues about the mystery of Holocaust hero Raoul Wallenberg, who vanished while in Soviet captivity in the 1940s.
Lt. Gen. Vasily Khristoforov said his agency, the Federal Security Service, had no reason to withhold any information about the Swedish diplomat from the public eye. He rejected critics' allegations that his service, the main KGB successor, could be hiding documents related to Wallenberg's fate.

Khristoforov was taking part in an international conference that included researchers from Sweden, Hungary, Israel and Russia. Some of the speakers strongly urged Khristoforov's agency to give independent researchers investigating the Wallenberg mystery free access to their archives.
"I think full access is really needed," said Ingrid Carlberg, a Swedish author who recently published a book about Wallenberg. "They can't possibly know what kind of puzzles I have that could be matched with pieces of information in those archives. If we put them all together, we will have a clearer picture."
Wallenberg is credited with having saved thousands of Jews in Budapest by distributing Swedish travel documents or moving them to safe houses. He was arrested in Budapest by the Soviet Red Army in 1945. The Soviets initially denied Wallenberg was in their custody, then said in 1957 that he had died of a heart attack in prison on July 17, 1947.
The Russian government has never formally retracted the initial Soviet version, but some officials acknowledged that Wallenberg likely had been killed.
