In Katyn, Putin placed the crime within the context of “Stalinist repressions” and the “nightmare of the civil war, forced collectivisation, the 1930s purges”. He sought to bind together Russia and Poland as “those two European nations that have suffered practically all the tragedies of the 20th century”.
