Talk:Katyn massacre

This page is inaccurate

The nazis committed the Katyn massacre and blamed it on the Soviet Union to drive a wedge between the allies. This page is regurgitating nazi propaganda. Please fact check this 140.228.176.91 (talk) 14:51, 18 December 2023 (UTC)

Was the witness of the Soviet-Russian Katyn Crime, Stanisław Swianiewicz, having delusions when he witnessed what he did in 1940?

_{However, after the Battle of Krasnobród on 23 September, he was taken prisoner of war by the Soviets. Through the transfer camp in Putyvl, he was interned in the NKVD camp in Kozelsk, together with several thousand other Polish officers, professors, border guards and policemen. Interrogated by kombrig Vasili Mikhaylovich Zarubin, Swianiewicz spoke fluent Russian, which he was apparently found useful. After the start of the Katyn Massacre in the spring of 1940, he was attached to a group of about 100 Polish officers being moved by train to a small station in Gniezdovo, near Katyn. There, all of his comrades were massed in buses with blindfolded windows and transported to the mass murder site, but Swianiewicz himself was withdrawn from the transport.} FeldmarschallGneisenau (talk) 13:55, 22 March 2024 (UTC)

Wikipedia is an encyclopaedia: it is for reference, not an outlet for discredited silliness. Anyone who wants to promote the work of Grover Furr should make their own web page, or use social media. New Thought (talk) 12:10, 24 December 2024 (UTC)

Goebbels's ghost psychographic Wikipedia's page.

Reaching a consensus on historical issues can be challenging. Grover Furr defends the Soviet perspective as a valuable viewpoint, and it serves as an important reference for examining historical documentary sources. Completely dismissing the original conclusions of post-World War II Allied Powers investigative committees is unjustified. Historian Grover Furr argues that contemporary narratives surrounding the Katyn massacre are influenced by neo-Nazi revisionist propaganda promoted by extreme right political parties and governments in post-Soviet Eastern Europe. His research conclusively demonstrates that the true perpetrators of the Katyn massacre were the German occupying forces.

It is absurd to claim that Grover Furr is not a historian and that his views represent the farthest fringe of scholarship.

Furthermore, Gover Furr's conclusions about the perpetrators of the Katyn massacre and its context have remained unchanged and widely accepted for many decades. To challenge the official conclusions or promote Nazi-friendly alternative narratives has even been legally prohibited in many of the countries affected by this tragedy. It is quite shocking that the Wikipedia administration allows such a biased narrative to be presented as the only credible historical account. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 91.216.55.150 (talk • contribs)

Grover Furr isn't a historian. He's a professor of medieval English, with fringe views concerning this topic. Read this talkpage and its archives, the article represents the consenus of historic scholarship.

Maybe it's time for an FAQ on this. Acroterion (talk) 20:08, 6 January 2025 (UTC)
