4,250 Polish soldiers killed and buried in Katin's Forest were one of the greatest atrocities in World War II. But this is not all. When Germany and Russia attacked from the east and the west, the Polish forces collapsed. Even if Russians attacked them, they believed that Russians could help them, so the Poles did not suffer. Once inside, the Red Army took over many Polish cities and began to capture soldiers and civilians who were imprisoned or executed, but that could be both.
Today, Katin still has a controversial and highly emotional problem casting a long shadow on the relationship between Russia and Poland. Over the period of April to May 1940, the massive execution of more than 22,000 Polish forces and intellectual elites and their participation in Smolen Forest burial around sksk was buried - blocked.

Along with the beginning of the Second World War, the fear of Stalin became extinction of prisoners of war and "traitors".

This was a large-scale execution by Polish citizens and Lavrenty Beria proposed to implement all members of the Polish army service. The official document was approved and signed by Politburo of the Soviet Union, including its leader Joseph Stalin. The estimated number of victims of Katin is about 22,000. When the Soviets invaded Poland in 1939, the total number of murdered people was about 8,000, and 6,000 were police officers. Taoism"
