Russia posts Katyn massacre documents
In this article, Russia's state archive posted documents on the internet about the Soviet Union's massacre of 20,000 polish officers and citizens. Russia posted these articles to calm Poland in case they were still pissed from the massacre in WWII. This relates to our WWII unit because we studies the cold war and the tension between soviet union and eastern europe. These massacres were under the title "Joseph Stallin" and it seems that alot of europe is mad at the way the Soviet Union and Stallin ruled during the Cold War.

Cal, I very much enjoyed reading this post. I was wondering though if you feel as though the decision the Russians made to post the documents publically was right or not. Do you think that they could have fixed the bad blood between them and the Soviets in ways other than via internet? Also, has there been any follow up to this story? It will be interesting to see how this decision changes the relationship between Russia and the Soviet Union, if it does at all.
