This document will be referred to as Document 2. The second document is the information on the implementation of Operation HORIZON written by one of the branches of the 2 nd Directorate (the 4 th Department tasked with counterintelligence activities related to the Federal Republic of Germany) signed by the department chief Colonel Ginko on January 8, 1968. This document will be referred to as Document 1. The first document is the announcement of Operation HORIZON communicated to all branches of the Lithuanian KGB, in particular the 1 st Department (tasked with foreign intelligence) and the 2 nd Directorate (tasked with counterintelligence), signed by the deputy chairman Colonel V. The description of Operation HORIZON presented here is based on two top secret documents produced by the KGB of the Lithuanian Soviet Socialist Republic, which I have translated into English for the first time and published on. One such massive (but still little known) counterintelligence operation planned and carried out by the regional branches of the VGU in the republics of the Soviet Union was Operation HORIZON in 19.

However, original documents from the KGB archive in Lithuania show that there were significant espionage operations in the West conducted by the PGU’s counterintelligence counterpart, the Second Chief Directorate (VGU). The histories of the KGB published in the West generally tend to emphasize the activities of its foreign intelligence directorate, the First Chief Directorate (PGU).
