Western anti-communist propaganda
Russians

Nazi propaganda as well as propaganda by nationalist (fascist) Poles who will always be ingrates towards Russia despite saving them in WW2.

>>2640255
Vatniks should be purged from 4chan.

>>promptly (re) occupied Poland after """saving""" them from Germany
Well they definitely saved a lot of people from Polish concentration camps

Only to send them straight to Siberia.

Stalin was just pissed off about the Poles making him look like a retard in 1920
>>2639214
>Even the Russians admit it
It was almost 50 years later when they did and it was during the Yeltsin years when he was basically a U.S. puppet. They probably falsified documents as well.

/pol/ influence
>>2639185
Yes, but it wasn't a single event. They were a series of executions carried over a period of time.
However, it has been confirmed by both Russian and international investigations that the russians were in fact responsible for the destruction of the Polish officer's corps.
>>2639185
The guns were german tho
>>2642992
How is /pol/ to blame for this? Because they acknowledge the existence of an historical event? Christ you dipshits get more delusional everyday.

There were much larger massacres of Poles committed by Soviets:
>The Polish Operation of the Soviet NKVD security service in 1937–1938 was a mass operation of the NKVD carried out against purported Polish agents in the Soviet Union during the period of the Great Purge. It was ordered by the Politburo against the so-called "Polish spies" and customarily interpreted by the NKVD officials as relating to "absolutely all Poles". It resulted in the sentencing of 139,835 people, and summary executions of 111,091 ethnic Poles,[3][3][4] as well as those accused of working for Poland.[5] The operation was implemented according to NKVD Order № 00485 signed by Nikolai Yezhov.[6] The majority of the victims were ethnically Polish but not all, according to Timothy Snyder, who gives a conservative estimate of 85,000 confirmed Poles executed simultaneously across the country.[7] The remainder were 'suspected' of being Polish, without further inquiry.[6]
>In order to speed up the process the NKVD personnel reviewed local telephone books and arrested persons with Polish-sounding names. In Leningrad alone, almost 7,000 citizens were rounded up this way. A vast majority of such nominal "suspects" were executed within 10 days of arrest.[8]
>The Polish Operation was the largest ethnic shooting and deportation action during the Great Terror campaign of political murders in the Soviet Union, orchestrated by Nikolai Yezhov.[9][10]

>>2643893
Smart people threaten those with political power.
As a rule, they are not allowed in high positions within the military or civil service in despotic countries.
>>2642309
it's the same thing this board with the holocaust
>>2643775
>Because they acknowledge the existence of a historical event?
Like the fall of Atlantis? Or the white in his purest form can use magic? Or nazis have UFO around the world
>>2643926
If was only they deny the holocaust that will be by far better.
>>2642360
I thought it was Gorbachev who made it public knowledge
>>2639200
But it was a communist arrest and execution of nationalists.
I don't think its unreasonable, given the communist idea and mindset, to assume such a thing would happen.
It was in their best interest, and if we throw morals and ethics out the window, its a rational and useful thing to do.
