MOSCOW. November 24, 2010. WEBSITE "THE TRUTH ABOUT KATYN"
As it has become known to the editors of "The Truth about Katyn", there are now plans to discuss and to adopt a political resolution, "In Memory of the Victims of the Katyn Tragedy", at a meeting in the State Duma of the Russian Federation on November 26, 2010. The draft resolution places responsibility for the Katyn crime, committed by the German occupation authorities in the fall of 1941, on the Soviet Union. The adoption of the anti-Soviet resolution is timed to President of the Russian Federation D.A. Medvedev's visit to Poland on December 6, 2010. In connection with the scheduled attempt of falsifying history on November 26, which contradicts with the interests of Russia, the deputy of the State Duma V.I. Ilyukhin addressed on November 24, 2010 to the Chairman of Russian State Duma B.V. Gryzlov with the following statement:
To the Chairman of the State Duma
of the Russian Federation
B.V. Gryzlov
Dear Boris Vyacheslavovich!
In connection with the discussion at the plenary meeting in the State Duma, on November 26, 2010, of the draft resolution "About the declaration of the State Duma of the Federal Assembly of the Russian Federation "In Memory of the Victims of the Katyn Tragedy", please issue an instruction to reproduce and to distribute among the deputies the draft notes, which formed the basis for the forgery of L. Beria's letter to J. Stalin about the alleged reviewing of cases of Polish prisoners and applying to them the highest measure of punishment - the shooting. This letter and the forged extract from the decision of the Politburo of the AUCP(b) from March 5, 1940 are being used today by the enemies of Russia, who sacrilegiously present these as the main proof of Stalin's and the Soviet leadership's guilt in shooting the Poles near Katyn in the Smolensk region.
The falsification was carried out in the late 80's - early 90's of last century and it has been established by expert studies and other evidence.
It can be argued, that distortions of the events related to the Katyn tragedy were originally initiated by the well-known people in our country - A. Yakovlev, D. Volkogonov, V. Falin, R. Pikhoya and others.
Explanations will be given during the discussion of the draft resolution.
Attachment: on 4 pages.
Deputy of the State Duma V.I. Ilyukhin
