Do the Soviets-I mean Russian government-still deny the Katyn massacre never happened?

It seems they may have one more thing to say never happened now.

Oh they don’t deny it, but they basically said the Poles had it coming to them.

I'm positive you all will forgive my unintended double negative.

I don’t know about that. However, I got curious about the “Katyn Forest” situation, and looked it up. Apparently, there was some sort of mass-grave there! There was some kind of monument put up there to commemorate those who died there. It was one of those memorial sites kind of like the Custer battle sites, or Gettysburg monument here.

Upon reading an article on Katyn Forest a few minutes ago, they (Soviets)did deny it until about 1990. They finally did acknowledge it happened. Even the Nazi forces discovered in 1943 what they believed to be mass graves there. Apparently, there were a large number of Polish military forces killed and buried there, along with many other civilian people. Many of them were taken as prisoners of war, and kept in POW camps.
