On April 11, 2024, the FSB declassified the archive about the Nazi executions of Poles and the falsification of the Katyn case. The archive includes information, intelligence and special reports from SMERSH counterintelligence, dated 1944-1945.

This article combines translations of the publications by TASS and Zvezda News. Before the articles, we include an image gallery with 18 machine translated pages (containing inevitable translation inaccuracies) of some of the documents, along with their original versions (at the end of the article).

Foreign Agen Intel Telegram channel put it well in their post about the publication:

The truth always comes out eventually.

We can add it to a long list of crimes committed by Germany over the years. Blaming Stalin and the USSR was always convenient, both to Nazi Germany and their NATO successors. Just like we see today’s politicians in the West blaming everything from rising prices to earthquakes on Russia, so it was the case then. Nothing changed.

It also shows us how the NATO alliance is built on American and British coercion, rather than any natural mutual interests. The whole of Europe has always been at each others’ throats over the tiniest of disagreements. Yet today they aspire to lecture Russia and virtue signal about their superior morals.

Convincing their “allies” that Russia is the enemy was America’s greatest trick – you’ve been had. You Poles, you Czechs, you Latvians, you Finns and so on.
