Poland on Friday marked the 75th anniversary of the Katyn Massacre — a mass murder of some 22,000 Polish officers and other prisoners of war in Katyn forest in western Russia by Soviet dictator Josef Stalin's secret police NKVD in an attempt to wipe out the country’s elite after the Soviet Union overrun part of Poland in September 1939.

So long as they don’t RE-ENACT it.

That’s Obola’s desire...

The 20th century did not see any crime like the one committed in Katyn,” Polish President Bronislaw Komorowski said

Actually, it saw a whole bunch of such crimes.

“Actually, it saw a whole bunch of such crimes.”

Yes, and now Russia and Russians are continuing those crimes well into the 21st Century.

A short list of nations that committed similar atrocities during the 20th:

Syria, Iraq, China, Vietnam, Cambodia, Guatemala, Japan, Italy, Germany, Algeria, France.

Putin and his crew haven’t (yet) committed atrocities on a similar scale.

“Putin and his crew haven’t (yet) committed atrocities on a similar scale.”

If Putin and his crew haven’t already equaled the atrocity of the Katyn Forest, Kalinin, and Kharkiv massacre of the Poles; they are very close to doing so and very soon will do so and more. See a few examples:

I still think this is one of your better recent compilations. I watch it every time it is posted or referenced in some thread or another.

Thank You Sir.

Komorowski is a bit of a goof, a leftish goop (ok, here in Poland, our idea of leftish is McCain)

You omitted the genocides committed in North Africa by the Italians. Even so, only China has committed these atrocities on a scale of tens of millions of human beings to equal or surpass those of Russia. Germany, Italy, Cambodia, Uganda, and others were also prolific; but their atrocities and genocides still cannot compare to the scope and horrors of the overall killings by China and Russia. Furthermore, it is Russia and China who continue to perpetrate such crimes against humanity long after the other past perpetrators have reformed and abandoned such crimes.
