It's definitely a little upsetting in that I'd like such things preserved for evidence for any eventual proceedings long down the line in the far future but not surprising I suppose and part of me assumed most such evidence would indeed be destroyed. Funny how the USSR didn't destroy its records nor did GDR when they fell. Even the Nazis failed to destroy most of their documentation. The reasons being I suppose bureaucratic insulation, layers and layers of it foiling most normal attempts and completeness but they're being I assume quite thorough here by just bulldozing the whole structure down.

Well, some of the USSR archive was destroyed by Khrushchev after Stalin's passing, though even that was but a fraction of the archived works.
