Seems to me that Jarosław Kaczyński tries the same as the president of Russia did. I hope it will reach common Russians
In general he said that his brother were meant to stand in Moscow watching the parade, also he said that he knew that his brother would think of the many soldiers, Russian soldiers who fought the German third Reich, but he would also remember about Katyń. The crime which happened 70 years ago divided our nations apart, I know that there are millions of victims resulting in the Stalinist terror, Russians and other representatives of other nations of the former Soviet Union. That Stalin-ism is our common problem today, our relationship can only come to light if it has it's ground on the truth. Even then when it hurts the most, Poles remember the bullets and the strikes of the criminals of NKVD. But they also remember the help which many Russians gave Poles in their most needful time. When themselves didn't have much they offered the very little they had. I myself know that my granddad got to know Alexander Piotrovich Bigintie (or something I am not good in writing Russian names) and by that he himself and my grandmother and himself were saved. The many signs of solidarity from common Russians on the day of the great tragedy in Smolensk was noticed by Poles. It was noticed and we are grateful, we thank you! For every prayer, for every flower, for every candle which was lighted on that day. There are moments in history which can change everything, which can change the course of history. We Poles hope, also those who supported Lech Kaczyński hope that such a change will happen, for us, for our children and for our grandchildren.
