The Tver Regional Court decided to recognize two Polish memorial plates installed at the entrance to the Nilo-Stolobenskaya Hermitage monastery as ownerless - that is, without an owner. On the plates there is a text in Polish and Russian, which informs that at one time there was a special camp on the territory of the monastery, in which Polish prisoners were kept. In Poland, at the official level, they believe that in 1940, 6311 Poles from this camp were transferred to Kalinin and destroyed. In general, a well-known and publicized story, which in itself raises a lot of questions.
This fact has been pointed out by many historians. The execution of Polish prisoners of war from the Ostashkov camp is neither documented nor factually confirmed - no one has found so many remains of Polish prisoners who, according to Russian liberals and their Polish comrades, were executed in Kalinin. Nevertheless, on the territory of the Tver region, several memorial places were organized at once in memory of the allegedly innocently killed Poles. The Monastery of the Nil Desert is one of them.
Another, the largest place is the state memorial complex "Copper", where the Polish cemetery is equipped. It is believed that it is here that the very 6,311 Poles, who were destroyed by the evil NKVD officers in 1940, are buried. Until recently, the third place was the Tver State Medical University (TSMU), where plaques were placed in memory of the victims of the "Great Terror", including the Poles.
The fact is that the building of the TSMU used to house the Kalinin regional department of the NKVD, which is designated as the place of death of 6,000 Polish prisoners of war. However, after a prosecutor's check, the boards from the building of the medical university were dismantled. The supervisory authority established that they were placed on the building of the TSMU without sufficient grounds, both from a formal point of view and from a factual one. Three judicial instances in Tver and in Moscow confirmed the legality of dismantling the plates. Now the turn has come to the plates in the Nilovaya desert, the fate of which will be taken care of by the Ostashkov municipality.
It should be noted that the memorial plates in the Nilova Hermitage again attracted attention after the international scientific and practical conference, which was held in November 2020 at the Svetlitsa Hotel near the monastery. The conference was devoted to the problems of Russian-Polish relations, including the "Katyn theme", which is woven into the history of the Poles from the Ostashkov camp. The event was organized by the Russian Military Historical Society. It was attended by authoritative historians from Moscow, St. Petersburg, Smolensk and Tver, foreign experts from the US and Poland, specialists of the widest profile.
The participants of the scientific forum agreed that in the Polish presentation, which the Poles themselves call "official", the history of the prisoners from the Ostashkov camp is presented biased and biased, without taking into account existing facts. It is politicized to the extreme and looks more like a propaganda myth than a scientifically based version.
The conference participants saw the memorial plaques with their own eyes and noted that they turn a Russian Orthodox shrine into a monument to an unproven crime. As a result, the following paragraph was introduced into the resolution of the conference:
“The maintenance of commemorative plaques installed near the walls of the Nilo-Stolobenskaya Hermitage monastery misleads thousands of pilgrims of the monastery regarding the fate of Polish citizens in the USSR. The participants of the conference consider it expedient to move the memorial stone with tablets placed at the entrance to the monastery.”
To understand the situation, let us explain that since the beginning of the 90s of the 20th century, the Poles have been diligently perpetuating their martyr theme, including on Tver land. On the wave of perestroika revelations of the late USSR, the Polish side made every effort to make this story a part of the so-called “Katyn case”. In the Tver region, with the active participation of the local democratic community, the execution of the Poles was declared a proven fact, and they tried to perpetuate the memory of this as much as possible. This is how the memorial "Copper" and memorable objects appeared on the building of the TSMU and in the monastery.
In the absence of documents and factual evidence of such a large-scale execution, the beauty of the Polish version lies in the presentation of history. The death of the Poles is told figuratively, emotionally and colorfully. So that everything looks like in a scary movie. But at the same time, the names of the allegedly dead were taken from the milestone lists, in which no executions were reported.
In Poland, they took lists of Poles sent to Kalinin and considered that they were all shot. Such is modern Polish historiography. She interprets those events and the Katyn theme in general so freely that you are simply amazed.
An American independent researcher of this topic, Professor Grover Furr, once asked a logical question: why did someone decide that the Poles were transferred from the Ostashkov special camp to the Kalinin NKVD in order to shoot them? Where is this said? Where are the documents?
According to the researcher, the Polish side answered him in the same vein, they say, why else could prisoners be moved to Kalinin? Accusatory rhetoric sounds in Polish works on this issue from the very beginning. It is their basis and the cornerstone of the entire theme of Polish martyrdom. If they were transported, then only for execution - they say in Poland. It couldn't be otherwise.
The level of this logic is simply amazing. The Poles have long understood who is to blame for their troubles, and pseudo-historical materials can be adjusted to the desired conclusion. It is from here that the roots of the whole theme of commemorating Polish victims grow, wherever they are. They are trying to install monuments to the Katyn victims wherever possible. They are even in Australia. Thus, the Polish point of view on certain events is affirmed.
After all, memorial objects - commemorative plaques, slabs, monuments - in themselves become evidence of something. It would never occur to an ordinary person to doubt that this or that monument was erected without sufficient grounds. It turned out that in the early 90s in Russia this happened all the time.
Another remarkable fact. Personal belongings of the Poles immortalized in Medny, including identification tokens, were found during excavations very far from the Tver region. For example, in Western Ukraine, in the vicinity of the city of Vladimir-Volynsky, in an excavation during the Great Patriotic War of 1941, among human remains that were accurately identified as victims of the Nazi invaders, personal tokens of Polish policemen Maloveysky and Kuligovsky were found, whose nominal plates are installed on the memorial " Copper". This clearly indicates that the Poles from the Ostashkov camp in 1941 were still alive. Polish archaeologists who conducted research found several more personal tokens, but information about them was removed from the public domain. But in the case of two Mednov's "victims" there was a blunder.
In general, the whole history of the Mednoye memorial is woven from contradictions. At the excavation site, the number of human remains that is indicated by name on the Polish part of the cemetery was not raised. The Poles refused to look further for their dead, and Russian liberal figures from the Polish program of the international society Memorial (included in the list of organizations of foreign agents) supported them in this, saying that there was no need to disturb the ashes of the dead. That is, you just need to believe that all the Poles from the milestone lists were destroyed in Kalinin, even if their traces are still found in other places.
Meanwhile, the remains of only 243 people were exhumed at the Medny excavation site, 16 of whom were somehow declared to be Poles. So where is the factual side of the question? Where are the remains of 6311 Polish prisoners of war? These questions are increasingly being asked not only by historians, but also by representatives of state authorities and supervisory structures.
Here is what the colonel of the reserve, corresponding member of the RARAN, member of the Scientific Council of the RVIO, doctor of historical sciences, editor-in-chief of the online publication Nauka. Society. Defense” RARAN Corresponding Member Vladimir Kiknadze:
- The events that have been taking place over the past two years around the "Katyn problem" in the Tver region are a good example of effective interaction between public figures, authorities, including the State Duma, and the expert community.
This is the protection of historical truth, the powers of the state that the Russian people endowed it with by supporting amendments to the Constitution in 2020. Criminal acts, namely the execution of more than 6,000 Polish prisoners of war in the Kalinin region and more than 22,000 Poles in general, which Poland, including with the support of foreign agents in Russia, has been actively incriminating to our state for the last 30 years, are not reflected in the indictment nor in the decision of any court.
The information indicated on the memorial plates at the entrance to the Nilo-Stolobensky Monastery has no scientific justification, which could be seen both during the three-day scientific conference, which took place last year in the Tver region, and in the subsequent scientific publications of its participants. In this regard, the decision of the Tver Regional Court can only be supported, since it is aimed at protecting the monastery and its many pilgrims from all over the world from the harmful informational impact of an object, including an object that does not have an owner.
***
We add that the current Russian legislation requires documentary and factual evidence for any perpetuation of memory. For the hundredth time, I want to say that we recognize the truth, whatever it may be. But at the same time, the facts must be proven and scientifically substantiated. To convince us of what was not, now it will not work. And at the official level, it seems that they are not only aware of this, but they are also taking concrete steps.
