Tutorial Transcript

Hello everyone! I'm in a terrible place today This is where in 1940 a terrible tragedy happened It's a massacre of Polish people 20,000 Polish officers, land owners... and many many other people were killed with no good reason So I will tell you about this terrible event in slow Russian and if you don't speak Russian, use English subtitles Let's begin! This is a "Katyn'" memorial Here, in 1940 by Stalin's order NKVD (People's Commissariat for Internal Affairs) shot 20,000 innocent Polish citizens Let's go inside Katyn' is a common pain All inscriptions are in two languages in Russian and in Polish of course the same in Polish Here I want you to pause the video To look at the pictures, to read This was a terrible and hypocritical lie of the Soviet government For 50 years they were hiding the truth and said that Germans were the ones who killed 20,000 Poles You see? This had been the official point of view of the USSR until the year 1990 50 years of lies! Then, finally they declared Katyn' to be a war crime of Stalin in 1990 In these awful trains, without windows they brought thousands and thousands of Poles here Again, you see? The Polish flag and the Russian flag Let's go on Here, in this forest more than twenty thousand Polish citizens were killed Today here are funerary wreaths and people bring fresh flowers to commemorate the victims of the tragedy And that was it. I'm not going to say my typical phrase "I hope you enjoyed" because it's a very sad place and thank you very much for watching I hope to show you more historical places in the future And as usual I hope to see you in my next video. Bye-bye!
