Remembering Russia's butchery. Today we remember the #KatynMassacre in #Poland. Having started #WW2 by jointly invading Poland with Nazi Germany, in April & May 1940, Russia massacred 22,000 Polish military officers, police officers & intelligentsia. Stalin ordered the slaughter

#Russian Nationalist and #Stalinapologetists abuse #Polish collaboration in the #Holocaust as a tool to obfuscate and outright deny Soviet guilt for the #Katynmassacre:

"The Nazi-Katyn provocation was actively supported by Polish political and social elements . . . [that] approved of the Holocaust and were its beneficiaries."

This is a gross distortion of the facts.

Just as a note, memory laws do not only affect #HolocaustDeniers. They quite regularly complain about Holocaust denial laws invoking phrases like "truth does not fear investigation". What they fail to understand is many East European states make it illegal to deny both #Nazis and #Soviet crimes.

The former deputy head of the #Czech communist party is to face trial for #Katynmassacre denial.

Grover Furr in his book "The Mystery of the #Katyn Massacre" lies about the archeological work of Dominika Siemińska. He specifically uses the findings related to two mass graves (no1 and no2) to "debunk" the findings of other mass graves. (no4 and no5)

Grover Furr back in 2018 deliberately omitted text from doctor Vincenzo Palmieri's testimony to the Madden Commission that showed he derived his own conclusions that were similar to doctor Ferenc Orsós. By doing so he can falsely allege that Sanford lied about Palmieri's statements.
