#Russian Nationalist and #Stalinapologetists abuse #Polish collaboration in the #Holocaust as a tool to obfuscate and outright deny Soviet guilt for the #Katynmassacre:
"The Nazi-Katyn provocation was actively supported by Polish political and social elements . . . [that] approved of the Holocaust and were its beneficiaries."

This is a gross distortion of the facts.
It's common to find apologists for #Stalin citing Douglas Tottle's 1987 work "Fraud, Famine and Fascism: The #Ukrainian Genocide Myth from Hitler to Harvard". This is a disgusting work that berated eyewitnesses as “Ukrainian Nationalists” / Fascists.
It also played deliberate sleight of hand to imply Mykhailo Hrushevsky blamed the famine on drought.

#Stalinapologetists are forever stuck in the 1940's. They haven't read any of the subsequent literature that documented that United States Ambassador Joseph E Davies saw the Moscow trials as “nightmare” proceedings that were not "trial[s] at all". (MacLean, Envoy to the Soviets, p.50) Or that he dishonestly altered his reports and diary entires in his book "Mission to Moscow".
