In connection with the ceremony of commemorating the victims of the Katyn Massacre with the participation of Her Excellency, Estonian Prime Minister Kaja Kallas and the IPN President Karol Nawrocki, Ph.D. at the Powązki Military Cemetery in Warsaw on 11 April 2024, and the 84th anniversary of the Katyn Massacre, IPNtv presents a spot entitled "The Katyn Massacre. An unpunished Soviet crime", prepared by the IPN's International Cooperation Office.

The material recalls the Soviet murder of nearly 22,000 Polish citizens, including Polish Army officers, in Katyn and other locations in the spring of 1940.

For decades, the Soviet perpetrators denied their responsibility for the massacre. At the same time - together with the Polish communists - they erected propaganda objects in honor of the

Soviet Red Army who brought new enslavement to Poland and the countries of Eastern Europe.

For years, the Institute of National Remembrance and institutions in other countries of the former Soviet bloc have been removing these objects from public space as they constitute an insult to the memory of those murdered in Katyn and 100 million victims of communism worldwide.

For the ongoing process of decommunization of public space, the Russian Federation has placed the IPN President Karol Nawrocki and Estonian Prime Minister Kaja Kallas on its “wanted” list.
