I’ve just seen this movie - this evening. Just came back from the cinema.

Very moving, touching, breathtaking and heartbreaking.

GREAT, GREAT MOVIE.

I believe two British Royal Air Force liaison officers were also executed along with their Polish comrades by the Soviet Thugs.

And the world new what happened. The Nazis, using the uncovered massacre burial ground to great PR effect, demonstrated unequivocally what the Russians had done.

Yet Roosevelt, in his blind arrogance, continued to ignore this and many other atrocities by Stalin until the day he died. Stalin killed 5 times the number of Soviets who died in the war.

Only Churchill kept sounding the alarm.

“The audience, mostly diplomats, human rights activists and artists were moved. “Poles, forgive us,” said Russian human rights activist Siergiej Kovaliov after he saw the film.”

Moscow has long separated Stalin from Lenin, but it’s probably easy to guess that Russians will withdraw their support of Stalinism when more information is broadcasted through such open channels as the cinema. I know Lenin’s character well enough, but humanity’s blurred perception of what’s right vs what’s wrong is clearing little by little. Hillary Clinton will not be pleased. Perhaps the stain of sin will be further removed via the Sacraments of Russia’s Orthodox Church. I just love watching their YouTube clips on exorcisms.

Seems like Sergei Kovalev with his band of the right activists “killed” someone. Accually he did but those russian soldiers he betrayed in Chechnya during Chechen war 1. But I did never hear his sorry.
