The return of the Putin III

[abomvubuso]

I think this vid is pretty succinct, how'dya think? Well, the exit polls are unambiguous. There'll be no 2nd round, Putin wins the presidential election in Russia. 58-60% roughly. And no surprise there.

The result was anticipated, and is hardly a shock for anybody. More important is what the opposition's reaction would be and what are Putin's next

They were fools but Putin's court are smarter, right? ;-)

Yep, they should've found the truth back then, namely: Stalin had ordered the decapitation of the Polish military elite. But those fools from the Allies chose not to do that, to preserve their friendship with Stalin. After all, the Yalta conference was the most important thing at the time. Funny how Realpolitik works, isn't it?

Would've been nice if you had read them.

Russian court said the same thing, as the Nuremberg Trials.

Politics a funny thing.
And the power of the Red Army - it was the most important thing of a thing at a time;)

Why do I need to read obscure sites, if I read historical works on this subject?

And as we know, the powerful of the day reserve the right to write history.

Now you're on to something. :-)

> Why do I need to read obscure sites

Yes, thanks for making my point.

And as we know, the powerful of the day reserve the right to write history.
Therefore, after the collapse of the Soviet Union he was accused of all sins.

Putin writes today's history, with the help of his "independent" courts.

[pofigistiks]

Nope. Russian court reiterated what had been known since 1945.

[abomvubuso]

In November 2010, the State Duma passed a resolution declaring that long-classified documents "showed that the Katyn crime was carried out on direct orders of Stalin and other Soviet officials" ... The Duma has condemned Joseph Stalin by name for the mass execution of Poles at Katyn during World War II.

Wouldn't it be better if the fact just gets acknowledged so that everyone could move on?

[pofigistiks]

At first, it was a political decision.
Second, people make mistakes, and then principally to correct these errors. That the court did.

[abomvubuso]

Ah, okay then. For a moment I thought that all the independent sources were on to something. Turns out the court has already postulated the Ultimate Truth ;)

[pofigistiks]

Court on the basis of the facts come to the conclusion that the shooting was in September 1941. At this time, these places were occupied by the Germans.

[abomvubuso]

That's kind of interesting. Care to provide an excerpt of those facts?

[pofigistiks]

For example these:

1.
In September 1941, 11,000 Polish officers who were prisoners of war were killed in the Katyn Forest near Smolensk.
Nuremberg Trial Proceedings Vol. 1
Indictment : Count Three
COUNT THREE - WAR CRIMES

2.
The defense of Smolensk took place during the period July 10 - August 5, 1941, after which the city was handed over to German troops

[abomvubuso]

But I'm asking about the 1940 massacre, not the one in 1941 that was done by the Germans.

[pofigistiks]

You can ask about anything, but the Nuremberg trials says that the shooting was in September 1941.

[abomvubuso]

So are they fools or not, and do they talk nonsense or not? I'm confused :)
