On this day in 1940, Stalin signed an order condemning 22,000 Poles, most of them military officers, to death. They were shot dead in Katyn Forest over the next 2 months and buried in mass graves.

Also on this day we celebrate 70th anniversery of this creature’s death. In Russia Muscovites are lying flowers under his statue. https://www.rferl.org/a/stalin-70-anniversary-death-moscow-commemorations/32302952.html
And yet some fools claim how communism was actually good (or not as bad as nazis).
Like criminal Stalin, war criminal Putin caused the death and major injuries of over 200k Russians and thousands of brave Ukraine’s defenders!
I remember. The Polish President in 2010 died in a plane crash on his way to commemorate that day didn’t he?
Mandatory comment about Andrzej Wajda.
He did a movie on that event. His father was among these men. The movie’s called *Katyń* of course.
With .25 Walther pistols so they could blame the Germans.
And then blamed Germany for it until it was unsealed in 90ties.
I thought all communists were the saviors of mankind. OP must be mistaken because only people that deserved it are killed by communists.
My bad, Stalin was the ONE misguided communist.
Today is also the 70th anniversary of Stalin’s death. That’s worth celebrating with a vodka toast.
