Katyn as a symbol of Russia's crimes
........which is a symbol of Russia's shameful past.
Many countries pointing the finger at Russia have a shameful past too but was it not the USSR/soviet communist regime under Uncle Joe who ordered this butchery? How can the current generation of Russian citizens be held responsible for these crimes without holding many other nations leaders and citizens to account for past crimes for example through colonial expansion?
What happened to the Polish officers was a war crime but the soviets denied it and blamed the Germans.
The fact is that the Russians did not confess to their crime. Moreover, they wanted to blame the Germans for this.
thats logical but first of all soviet crimes and soviet thoughts are different from russian orthodox thought russian orthodoxy recognises nations as god designed, soviet thought seeks to remove the lingual barriers and unite the peopple under a common council to free the people from the nationalistic burgoise, and the nationalistic hate mongering.
not much different to islam.
