The official Soviet admission of guilt came on April 13, 1990, exactly forty-seven years after the German announcement on finding the Katyn graves: Gorbachev gave General Jaruzelski, then visiting Moscow, copies of NKVD lists of the names of Polish officers, NCOs, border guards and others massacred in the spring of 1940.
I'd say you should check Polish sources if you want to read those lists. But Gorbachev gave them to Jaruzelski. It's fact.
Here's a book you might want to read:
Katyn’: Prestuplenie protiv chelovechestva (Katyn: A crime against humanity) Natalia S. Lebedeva, Russian Academy of Sciences, (Moscow: Progress–Kul’tura, 1994);
The author is now working on this:
The Katyn Massacre.
This volume investigates the massacre of some 22,000 Polish officers by Soviet NKVD execution squads in the spring of 1940 in the forest of Katyn and other locations. It is a project of great importance both because of the magnitude of the crime committed and its elaborate fifty-year cover-up by the Soviet authorities. In 1989 Gorbachev for the first time revealed the existence of documents that prove Soviet responsibility for the crime; and in 1990 he delivered to the Polish government a set of such documents. Since that time a commission of Polish and Russian researchers has collected tens of thousands of relevant documents. This vast undertaking will produce not only full documentation and proof of Soviet responsibility, which has already been acknowledged, but also a picture of the entire system—political, military, bureaucratic—that operated to produce this tragedy. Yale University Press intends to condense the findings of the Polish and Russian research teams into one volume of approximately 400 printed pages, which will include a representative selection of documents along with a narrative text written by an American scholar working with Russian and Polish colleagues.
Let's see... Gorbachev admitted it; Yeltsin admitted it and in January 2000, Russia's president-elect Vladimir Putin telephoned Polish President Aleksander Kwaśniewski to inform him of the discovery of a mass grave thought to contain the bodies of Poles murdered by Soviet forces during the Second World War.
Gorbachev, Yeltsin and Putin admit it...... but Boroda is the only one that knows the truth.
Pribalitic history? Study this one
The Ghastly Year It's the story of what the NKVD did in Latvia
If you're squeamish, don't look at this page As I said... you simply can't admit that your beloved Soviet NKVD and Army were barbarians.
Ask some of the Germans here if they think all Russian Army Rapists were shot in front of their units. The streets of Berlin would have been impassable due to dead Soviet soldiers if that were true.
Beevor? He used Soviet documentation.
Beevor, in describing sources for his latest work, mentions Natalya Gesse, a Soviet war correspondent and close friend of former scientist and later dissident Andrei Sakharov. Gesse described Soviet soldiers in Germany in 1945 as "an army of rapists."
Beevor says an examination of Soviet archives confirms Gesse's allegations. He describes where he got his source material.
"A certain amount from the archives of the Ministry of Defense, a large amount from the Central State Archive -- and this is very significant because one has reports from the NKVD chiefs of the army groups of the front advancing on Germany and into Germany reporting back to [NKVD chief Lavrentii] Beria, and these reports are then passed to Stalin stating that Germans interrogated by the NKVD say that virtually every woman left behind in East German territory is being raped by Red Army troops.
There is no indication, there is no comment on this. There is nothing to say that this is slander or a lie or anything like that. This is presented as fact."
So, you see no difference between a US soldier "buying" a woman for a can of meat and a Soviet soldier raping a woman at gunpoint?
That's what makes your posts so great!
Ukraine?
BLACK FAMINE IN UKRAINE 1932-33WHY DID THE FAMINE TAKE PLACE?
OPPOSlTlON TO COLLECTIVIZATION is only half the story why Moscow created the famine in Ukraine. The Ukrainian opposition was not only ideological, that is against Communism, but also political. Russian nationalism reared its ugly head at this time. The Kremlin used the famine as a political weapon to destroy Ukrainian aspirations for independence. At the same time as the famine (1932-34) a wave of persecutions of thousands of Ukrainian intellectuals, writers and leaders took place. Plots for liberating Ukraine were discovered not only in the smallest villages but even in the top ranks of the Ukrainian Communist Party itself. Purges took hundreds of Ukrainians. Suicide was the escape of many.
For those of you who think Boroda is telling it like it is, put "stalin ukraine famine genocide" into google.
You'll see "Results 1 - 10 of about 1,550. Search took 0.12 seconds ". Read for yourself and make up your own minds.
We were the ruthless and dangerous enemy?
Again, look at Western Europe and Eastern Europe. It's pretty obvious who destroyed the hope of the common man. Zoom in and compare East Germany with West Germany.
Soviets won WW2, eh? All by yourselves? Yah, sure.
I'll talk about any American "atrocities" you want to talk about; and if we did it, I'll admit it.
YOU, on the other hand, can't admit to any of the DOCUMENTED atrocities your nation is guilty of.
And if you ever want to honestly match lists..... I know which one will be the longest by far. By Faaaaaaaaaaaaar.
