Katyn lies
Here is a copy of the disgraceful Rossiiskaya Gazeta commentary on Katyn
This used to be elsewhere on the internet but it seems to have disappeared. Anne Applebaum quotes it in her (excellent) NYRB of the Wajda Katyn film, and I have mentioned it both in the Economist and in the New Cold War
The commentary (in the middle) is not on the RG website, but the other 2 articles are. They say that article content varies depending on place and time of publication, but the full text is accessible to fully-paid subscribers. Whatever that means. But I'll give you the benefit of the doubt. So they buried the unpleasant commentary. What is the significance of it all in the great scheme of things?
So?
