The death pits in Katyn were discovered on April 3, 1943. Experts from the global Medical Commission stated russian work for the murders on Polish prisoners. The SRS denied everything. ‘So came the Katyn lie, which drove a wedge between the Allies and became the cornerstone of the postwar order, giving Poland into the russian sphere of influence. On April 13, 1990, the falling russian Union admitted work for Katyń. After 50 years, the planet learned Stalin's shameful decision and his co-workers, who sentenced 21,768 Polish prisoners to death on 5 March 1940, without summoning, without charging, without trial. But the Katyn lie didn't die. It is alive in the Russian Federation, just as dreams of power have revived and the return of the Russian empire, which the full planet is to fear," the authorities of UdsKiOR and the Federation of Katyń Families emphasize in a statement. They besides remind that shortly after the 85th anniversary of the Katyn crime, in May 2025, at the Polish War Cemetery in Mednoje were destroyed the reliefs of the Order of Virtuti Militari and the Cross of the September run of 1939. Their removal was a violation of the agreement of 22 February 1994 between the Government of the Republic of Poland and the Government of the Russian Federation on graves and memorial sites of victims of war and repression.
"Now the same act of desecration was committed at the Polish War Cemetery in Katyn. (...) – Lech Parell and Izabella Sariusz-Skępska write, demanding the restoration of Polish military symbols on necropolis in Miednoje and Katyń and the punishment of the guilty.
