Prokopenko was fired a year later having no more access to the archive.Prokopenko advised Guy von Dardel, Raoul Wallenberg’s half brother to ask the KGB for access to the files on Tolstoy-Kutuzov.

RAOUL WALLENBERG-Mellan myt och verklighet.
17-01-2012,
by Gellert Kovacs,
Den 17:e januari är det 65 år sedan Wallenberg försvann i Budapest.
Raoul Wallenberg är en av de mest kända och mest mytomspunna svenskarna under förra århundradet. För dem som vuxit upp under efterkrigstiden förekom han ofta i media p.g.a sin fångenskap i Sovjetunionen, där det ända in i 80-talet fanns rykten om att han hade setts i något sovjetiskt läger. Han blev en symbol i kampen mot Sovjet under kalla kriget samtidigt som källan till hans berömmelse; de humanitära insatserna i det nazi-ockuperade Budapest också omgavs med legender och myter. Vad är egentligen sant och vad hör till de överdrivna myterna angående Raoul Wallenbergs korta men dramatiska insats i världshistorien?
En flera månader lång forskning i olika ungerska arkiv i hans spår 65 år senare ger en mer nyanserad bild, men tillför också nya spännande sidor av personen Wallenberg och hans verksamhet.
