Poland hails Russian recognition of Katyn massacre

the funny thing is you cant blame the Russians for the massacre because Stalin was not Russian but a Georgian and the people that did the killings were from all the former soviet republics including polish that killed polish because it was a regime of 1 and not what nationality you are.

C`mon, tommy! Hitler was austrian and in the Waffen-SS was half of Europe. That is what you call lame excuses.

I think Russia has made a great decision here, it was a honest thing to do.

@ Tommy
No-one is blaming Russia or Russians. The ones who are to blame are the Soviets who committed and ordered the massacre, some of which were ethnic Russians, others weren't. Remember Stalin was only half Georgian, he was also half Ossetian. He had an Ossetian father and a Georgian mother.

The Soviet Union was very anti-Polish at the time. They invaded Poland and annexed the east of it. They killed many Polish people and soldiers. In 1944 when the Soviets were driving the Nazis out of Eastern and Central Europe, the Soviet Union deliberately slowed down the advance through Poland as they didn't want to provide support to the Polish Underground. The Polish Underground were defeated by the Nazis in 1944, because they rose up when they thought the Soviets were coming to help, however the Red Army never came as it was ordered to slow down; the reason being that the Polish Underground wanted to establish as a Capitalist Democracy, the Soviet Union had other plans for Poland. Berlin could have been taken two weeks sooner however Stalin didn't want a Polish general taking the glory for it. Then the Soviet Union established a puppet state in Poland which lasted till 1989. Can you blame the Poles for not liking the Government in Moscow?

Search in google "Soviet repressions of Polish citizens (1939–1946)" interesting stuff.
