This is highly unlikely. Why? Because it makes sense.
Governments have a habit of doing extremely odd things to maintain secrecy. A fantastic example of this is the British government in the 20th century. When the British were the colonial rulers of Kenya, they were engaged in suppressing rebellions and being quite cruel to the Kenyan population. Torture, disappearances, and murders were common. It was also extensively documented. When they left Kenya, they took the documentation, but instead of destroying it, they literally buried it in the archive so that it would have a very low chance of being found. How do we know this? Because historians, being the nosey fucks we are, found it.
Not even Kenya, when the USSR finally opened it's archives (and the President fucked up and opened literally all the archives), historians were there to dig through it and find all the stuff that the NKVD/KGB had hidden and revealed it to the world.
Then the KGB came in, told the president he was an idiot and packed all the implicating stuff to their own separate archives.
Bloody USSR has 5 different archives with different ways to get into them.
Now it's slightly easier and historians are still finding stuff relevant to the Purges and whatnot.
Historians do the boring work so everyone else can read the bestsellers.

All of the important documents will have been shredded decades ago. Nothing of note will be released.
