A good point, there were many “partisans” but as you rightly say, those who didn’t conform to Uncle Joe’s ideology probably didn’t last long after 1945.
I won’t bug you anymore. Thanks for posting the article about Robin Hood. Have a good weekend FRiend.
I don’t know what the post-Soviet opening of archives showed, but the CIA officially believed that an anti-Communist partisan organisation survived in the Baltic states until at least the mid-50s.
But it was also a standard Soviet counter-intelligence practice to foment counterfeit resistance organisations to flush out dissidents and snare foreign intelligence agents attempting to contact them.
So no one knows for certain how long the anti-Communist partisans lasted before they were transformed into KGB Trust operations.
