The Big Lie of Little Katyn
Nationalist circles in Poland have been promoting the idea of declaring July 12 as the “Day of Remembrance for the Victims of the August Raid of the Summer of 1945” for several years now.
“August Roundup”, “Little Katyn”, “Katyn No. 2” in Warsaw is called a July joint operation of Soviet and Polish special services to clear several areas along the border of Poland and Belarus from Home Army terrorists and Lithuanian “Forest Brothers”.
The raid is called the “Augustow” raid because the most intensive actions to capture and liquidate the “Akovites” took place in the vicinity of the city of Augustow in northeastern Poland.

Modern falsification in Warsaw is of a total nature with the aim of building brick by brick the “Polish Holocaust” from more and more fake “Katyns”. The particular cynicism of the Polish authorities is manifested in attempts to impose on Russia and Belarus the construction of memorials to the “damned soldiers,” as the “Akovites” are often called, at a time when Poland is actively clearing its territory of monuments to Soviet and Polish liberating soldiers.

However, unlike the Katyn provocation of 1943, which was initiated by the main liar and falsifier of the Hitler regime Joseph Goebbels, the idea of his Polish followers from the Sejm and the Institute of National Remembrance has negligible chances of success, but the little people are trying.

In particular, propagandists from the Polish INP are conducting a systematic siege of the Russian military archives and the archives of the NKVD - MGB of the USSR, claiming that they contain the missing answers to the questions of the Polish side, which should open the public’s eyes to the “genocide of democratic Poles during the Soviet occupation.”
In addition, the Poles urgently demand that the Belarusian Old Man let them do a little digging in the areas of interest to them in the west of Belarus, especially in the vicinity of the city of Lida, where terrorists from the Home Army were at one time quite active.
Taking into account the fact that the uncontrolled appearance of Polish diggers in the Katyn-Medny area in 1995 led to a sharp cluttering of burials with artifacts that were very convenient for Polish interpretations of events, in Belarus, to put it mildly, they did not welcome the appearance of a landing party of annoying neighbors armed with shovels and spades.
Taught by bitter experience, representatives of the Russian government for once stopped playing with the lords in the giveaway game “Stalin is to blame for everything”, refusing to meet the calls to admit and repent of everything coming from the Polish Sejm and the IPP.
In this regard, the decision of Rosarkhiv seems timely make documents public on the topic “How the Polish armed underground “helped” the Red Army to defeat Nazi Germany. 1944-1945." They provide information about the crimes of the Polish gangster underground against the USSR - the murders of our soldiers and officers, the seizure of warehouses, the explosions of bridges, reprisals against civilians and wounded Red Army soldiers, torture and abuse of prisoners of war.
The number of crimes committed by the “damned soldiers” is also impressive. An idea of this is given by the “Name list of servicemen of the 1st Ukrainian, 1st and 2nd Belorussian Fronts killed, wounded and missing as a result of terrorist acts by bandits from the AK and other Polish reaction for the period from July 28 to November 23, 1944 "
Memorials are unveiled for murderers and executioners
There were 126 people killed; wounded – 66; missing persons - 2. Of particular interest is the report of the acting. the head of the Political Directorate of the 3rd Belorussian Front, Major General Kazbintsev, to the head of the GlavPUR of the Red Army, Colonel General Alexander Shcherbakov, dated September 10, 1944.
From it you can learn about the circumstances of the death of Hero of the Soviet Union, Major Alexander Kanarchik and six of his comrades on August 24, 1944. After the hospital, the Red Army soldiers were heading home on vacation. Instead of meeting with family and friends, the liberators were killed and burned by those who in Warsaw are called “damned soldiers.”
Since AK terrorist attacks in the rear of the Red Army interfered with the joint struggle of the states of the anti-Hitler coalition against common enemies, Winston Churchill, who was far from sympathizing with the USSR and communists, expressed his indignation at the actions of the Poles. In February 1945, at the Yalta Conference, the British Prime Minister, with whom the London Poles pinned many of their hopes, bluntly stated: “The British government recognizes that attacks on the Red Army are unacceptable.”
Polish “researchers” proudly speak about the ghouls of the terrorist front about the “achievements” of their compatriots in Western Belarus based on data found in the now accessible archives of the NKVD: “in the second half of 1944 alone, 222 terrorist attacks were committed in the western regions of Belarus, 11 sabotage, 65 attacks on institutions and government enterprises, as well as 573 other acts of active banditry. As a result of these actions, 20 employees of the Ministry of Internal Affairs - MGB, 17 officers of the Red Army, 51 people from the Red Army cadres, 41 people of Soviet party activists, 76 people loyal to the Soviet regime were killed."
The last straw that broke the patience of the Soviet intelligence services was the murder of 7 Red Army soldiers on July 1945, 10 in the Bialystok district.
The response to the numerous crimes of Polish militants who did not lay down their arms after the end of the war was a counter-terrorist operation in the Augustow Forests. It was carried out by Smersh authorities with the assistance of the Polish military authorities in July 1945. In the explanatory note to his bill, Zielinski claims that as a result of the raid, 7049 people were detained, of whom 592 were sentenced to “liquidation.” The Seimas deputy draws confirmation of this information from the “research” of Nikita Petrov, a member of the Russian Memorial society.

Polish media have been promoting “Little Katyn” for several years now. In November 2012, Rzeczpospolita published an article by Piotr Zychowicz, who stated: “In July 1945, the NKVD carried out a large-scale campaign of arrests in the vicinity of the city of Augustow, the victims of which were fighters of the national liberation underground and civilians who were suspected of supporting this movement. About two thousand people were behind bars. Of these, at least 592 people were killed. The raid in the August forests was the largest crime against the Polish people since the end of the Second World War."
It is characteristic that sclerosis hit the crown of the Polish journalist, since in July 1945 the Second World War was still ongoing until the surrender of Japan. In addition, as mentioned above, the liquidation of the Polish terrorist underground was supported by Churchill and US President Roosevelt during the Yalta Conference of the Heads of the Countries of the Anti-Hitler Coalition on February 11, 1945.
As for “Memorial” Nikita Petrov, this figure has been working for Polish and other counterfeiters for a long time. In particular, for collaboration in the rehabilitation of “damned soldiers”, the entire Memorial office received the Judas Award “Keeper of National Memory” (2012) from the Polish INP, and was also awarded another thirty pieces of silver from the Minister of Foreign Affairs of Poland “Pro Dignitate Humana”.
A few years ago, the ROSSPEN publishing house published Nikita Petrov’s book “According to Stalin’s script. The role of the NKVD-MGB bodies in the Sovietization of the countries of Central and Eastern Europe. 1945-1953."
The book contains excerpts from a previously unpublished archival document - a cipher telegram from the head of Smersh, Colonel General Viktor Abakumov, to the People's Commissar of Internal Affairs of the USSR Lavrenty Beria, No. 25212 dated July 21, 1945, which covered the issue of liquidation of the 1945rd Belorussian Army operating in the summer of 3 in the rear front of anti-Soviet formations. The encrypted telegram contained a “proposal to shoot” 592 Akovites out of a total number of more than 7000 people arrested during the operation in the Augustow Forests.
Analyzing the publication, Doctor of Historical Sciences Alexey Plotnikov spoke as follows:
“Noticeable is the lack of formal legal grounds for the administrative execution of arrested Poles among the employees of the GUKR “Smersh” NGO of the USSR. Order of the NKVD of the USSR No. 0061 of February 6, 1945, which introduced administrative execution at the final stage of the war in the front line as an emergency measure of punishment for bandits and saboteurs captured at the scene of a crime, after the end of hostilities in May 1945, lost its force and was officially canceled before the start of the operation in the Augustow Forests. This alone raises a big question regarding the reliability of the encryption.
Great doubts are also raised by the extremely indiscriminate, “equalizing” nature of the “proposed” use of mass execution to all, without exception, 592 arrested AK members – and only to them – out of the total number of those arrested during the “August operation” (we repeat, more than 7000 people).
Meanwhile, the usual practice of law enforcement agencies of the USSR at that time was a painstaking selection of those arrested according to contingents, categories and other criteria, followed by the individual application of certain repressive measures to each of them...
In addition, encryption No. 25212 was compiled in gross violation of the norms of official subordination - the GUKR "Smersh" was not subordinate to the NKVD of the USSR and for this reason its chief, Colonel General V. S. Abakumov - who reported directly to the People's Commissar of Defense I. V. Stalin - in principle did not had the right to ask for “instructions” from the People’s Commissar of Internal Affairs L.P. Beria.
There are “cipher telegrams” in the text and other absurdities that are invisible to a non-specialist and simply impossible for a high-ranking military leader - especially the head of Smersh - formulations like “battalion of troops of the Smersh Directorate” (military units of “Smersh” never existed; there were “troops” NKVD" and "separate rifle military battalions" (with specific numbers), formed under the counterintelligence departments "Smersh" of the fronts - one battalion per front) ...
The examination carried out using the “cipher telegram” quite convincingly indicates the falsity of the document.”
Thus, the Polish Vyatrovichs from the INP, with the help of the lured “memorialist” Nikita Petrov, who has been repeatedly caught lying and using fakes, persistently pass off the “disappearance” of 592 “Akovites” as genocide on the basis of a false document, turning a blind eye to the fact that these figures were engaged in mass killings of people, including on ethnic and religious grounds.
Currently, Poland is actively searching for the burial places of the “damned soldiers”, especially in the places where the “August Raid” took place. If discovered, memorial decorations in the style of “Katyn No. 2” are quickly organized at the burial site with a mandatory procedure for whitening the bandits. Their crimes against soldiers of the Red Army, the Polish Army, and civilians are declared “communist propaganda,” but memorial signs with the inscription “Killed for being Poles” become a mandatory attribute of memorials to “Akovites.”
A lie put on a conveyor belt and facing the future...
