As the Nazis came up with Katyn, and the Ukrainians were buch. Historical-linguistic discovery of RIA "Novosti"

The fact that Russia again began to deny the guilt of the Soviet authorities in the execution of Polish prisoners of war in the Katyn forest, although before this wine was officially recognized by Russia, there is nothing new. The Insider has recently written about the attempt of the same RIA Novosti to confirm the version of the guilt of the Nazi occupiers with the testimony of the German prisoner of war, which they did not even trust in the USSR and which he himself called the false, knocked out by the consequence after repatriation to Germany. In the new publication of RIA, only the parallel between Katyn and buch on the basis of linguistic calculations is original. However, this idea is learned from the speech of the notorious deputy Anatoly Wasserman in the State Duma.

According to a professional historian, candidate of historical sciences Kornilova, Nazis, who reported in April 1943 about the burial of the executed Polish officers discovered in the Katynsky forest, primarily worried Poles's public opinion. Perhaps an attempt to kindle enmity between the Poles and the USSR would have some practical meaning for the Germans in anticipation of the advance of the Soviet troops to the West and the liberation of Poland from the German occupation. But in the spring of 1943, the situation on the fronts was completely different, Poland was completely captured, German troops had not yet begun the Operation Citadel near Kursk, which would be the last attempt to east for them. It is unlikely that anyone in the leadership of the Reich could predict how the course of the war would change in a year.

Yes, and the thesis that the Kat syllable in the Poles causes an unequivocal association with the executioner is quite doubtful, if only because the word Katolik , popular in Poland Katarzyna, the name of the large city of Katowice, begins with this syllable.

Katyn is not only the name of the village near Smolensk; The forest where Polish prisoners of war died is called Katynsky for centuries. In the same way, it is called in the materials of the Soviet commissions that investigated the murder of prisoners, and of the materials of the Soviet accusation of the Nuremberg process.

As for buchi, there are irrefutable evidence of the guilt of the Russian military in the massacres of civilians, including satellite pictures that prove that the corpses found on the streets of Buchi appeared during the Russian occupation. The dead inhabitants of the city are identified . There are many Ukrainian settlements, but such a mass murder occurred in Buch. There were other similar crimes of Russian invaders, for example, in Raisins, but this city was released much later than Buchi, so it was Bucha who attracted the attention of the whole world.
