The Russian United Democratic Party YABLOKO
shares the grief of the Polish people on the day of remembrance
of the Katyn tragedy.
This is also our grief about many people - Russian, Polish
and dozens of other nationalities murdered by a ruthless regime
- and crippled destinies of many people.
All the truth about the Katyn tragedy must be released so
that not to let such things happen anymore.
We highly appreciate the efforts of the Russian and the Polish
side made at political and expert levels so that to restore
historical justice.
However, we consider it necessary to declassify all the documents
relating to the Katyn tragedy and make them available for
academics.
It is also extremely important to qualify the Katyn massacre
as a political crime, recognize all the massacred people victims
of reprisals and rehabilitate every person.
Only in this case it will be possible to say that the Russian
society and the state have done everything possible for evaluation
of the Katyn tragedy and learning of its lessons.
Sergei Mitrokhin,
Chair of the YABLOKO party
