THE RUSSIAN LEOPARD CANNOT CHANGE HIS SPOTS! THIS REMAINS A VERY TIMELY STORY..... Todays 2022 headline reads: Russian authorities have removed a Polish flag from a memorial in the Katyn Forest marking the area where the mass killings of Polish officers by Soviet forces took place in April-May 1940. Local officials on June 25 confirmed that the flag had been removed amid tensions between Russia and Poland, which has vocally backed Kyiv and provided assistance following the Kremlin’s decision to invade Ukraine. Andrei Borisov, the mayor of Smolensk, said on social media the decision was made by the Ministry of Culture. “I will express my general opinion: There can be no Polish flags on Russian memorials! And after the frank anti-Russian statements of Polish politicians, even more so,” he posted on the social media platform VKontakte, along with a photo. The incredible story of Poland's 50 year takeover , first by Russia and Germany- later by Russia- and the atrocities committed upon them by Russia.
