#4 The Russians don't like ingratitude from people they ~~liberated~~ re-annexed."

Well, they'd been part of the old country since Cathrine was Great except for that little interlude between grand European fratricides.

#5 "little interlude between grand European fratricides"

Where'd anyone get the idea that the EUros were peace-loving, anyway?

The press lying ~~as usual~~, maybe?

#6 This Katyn murders weren't just a buncha Polish soldiers; they were the creme of Polish society, primarily officers the Soviets murdered to impose communism on an otherwise conservative state.

The murders were a calculated attempt at social engineering to achieve by the absence of Poland's defenders, what the Soviets knew they could not impose otherwise.

#7 And another thing:

What the Polish government should do upon completion of the plans and engineering, is to post those files on the internet so that should the memorial ever be destroyed, the world could at least have a chance to rebuild it as it was.

This calamity, to call this event in Polish history was it was, should never be forgotten.

In order to bind these wounds the Russians should

1) Pay compensation to the families of the victims

and

2) Pay part of the costs of construction of the memorial.

The Russians should never be allowed to live this down, ever.

Political crime, my ass.
