What happened two days ago in Russia have the same effects of a real coup that resets the vertices of an EU member country. If relations between Poland and the reign of Vladimir Putin, in fact, were characterized by the solid warmth, there is no reason to doubt about the dynamics the tragedy that occurred over the skies of Smolensk. However, Poland has always been regarded by Russia as a Roman province on which to extend their influence and extend her leg, a bit 'like the cat and mouse when it tries to regain his freedom. It is not necessary to go back to World War II to read clearly the dynamics at play: just look back a few months.
But nobody does. So, as usual, let us arm ourselves with a lot of good will and roll up our sleeves. You will see that the road is downhill.
This is a story that comes from afar. To be precise, born August 23, 1939 with the Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact, in which the forces of Nazi Germany and the Soviet Union to divide Poland play as the hyena and jackal are contending for pieces of flesh of an antelope. So, for the part that competed, the Russia of Stalin deported and killed nearly 22 thousand Polish citizens in the Katyn forest, near Smolensk by - you say anything? At least eight thousand of them were senior officers, while the others were in any event guides, gendarmes, policemen and guards.
To remove any doubt about the clear will of decapitation of the entire Polish elite performance, just remember that Stalin ordered the deportation of the same also in Kazakhstan and Siberia in the families of officers killed, sparing children. The aim was to prevent at least two generations Poland had a ruling class that could somehow interfere with the Russian and German expansionist plans.
The low profile events remained unknown until 1943, Poland would not have otherwise agreed in 1941 to sign an agreement with the Soviet Union to fight Germany in the meantime, despite the Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact, had turned against the mangiabambini dangerous Bolsheviks, mostly to appease the British and induce them to defer from invading Germany.
But the British sided with the Russians, capitalism-communism in a new axis that puzzled even Hitler, the anti-par excellence, the Saviour of the world stood as a bulwark against the Red Menace and praising Mussolini, established a secular man of greatness, for being the first to have removed the communist threat from Europe. Then, quietly, would also come Berlusconi.
After that the bodies of the first 4000 Poles were found in a mass grave in the forest of Katyn, Russia turned a deaf ear. Until 1989, when some Soviet scholars revealed that Stalin had indeed ordered the massacre, which prompted Gorbachev in 1990, to apologize, but without revealing where they had the documents authorizing the cold-blooded killing of 25 thousand Poles, but without that no charge had been their chief imputation.
Here the story gets interesting. In September 2004, some Russian officials announced plans to transfer documents, which meanwhile had pulled out of someone, why did the Polish authorities to clarify the facts of 63 years earlier. All we had to wait for them to be declassified.
But in March 2005, the Russian chief prosecutor Alexander Savenikov says that the massacre was not a genocide, nor a crime against humanity or war, and that "there was no basis to talk about it in legal terms." Will! The fact is that much of the 116 183 volumes of documents that investigators have collected during the investigation were strictly a secret. Idem the reasons for final storage.
So the Polish parliament, the Sejm - the same as last year refused to buy € million doses of flu vaccine useless swine, drawing the ire of the pharmaceutical lobby and the curses of more than a high WHO official -, March 22, 2005 unanimously approved a measure by which it is required that on the Russian archives to be declassified and that the massacre should be classified as genocide. A definition that is not a simple nomenclature, because it would have international implications, economic and image is not insignificant.
In response, Russia and Belarus last September simulating scare Poland nuclear attacks on its territory. 13 thousand soldiers to the operation code-named "West", in addition to aviation and the Red Army, deployed to deal with the hypothetical attacker Polish exercise a lot - let's say - realistic, also conducted within the borders of Poland, the attack of beaches and natural gas pipelines.
Poland with the European Commission formally protested, calling the events "an attempt to put in our place. Do not forget that all this happens right in the 70th anniversary of the Soviet invasion of Poland." The secretariat of President Lech Kaczynski, in fact, said: "We welcome the impression that they have given these exercises. Their own name brings us back to the times of the Warsaw Pact. "The great mainstream of information our own silent, too busy to take the big handshakes and meetings that occur between friendly Putin and Berlusconi, the big eater Bolsheviks in line with the legacy of Mussolini and, from this point of view, in perfect harmony with the idiosyncrasies of Hitler.
Moreover, although Moscow and Minsk had insisted that Operation West had the objective of ensuring strategic stability in the region of Eastern Europe, illlustre a Pole, Lech Walesa, and former Czech President Vaclav Havel, write none other than Barack Obama, warning that "Russia is back, in the guise of a power pursuing the revisionist agenda of the 19th century with the tactics and methods in use in the 21st century. "
But the last word should be written last Saturday night. The plane - a Tupolet TU-154 - which was bringing the President Lech Kaczynsky, institutions in full force and all the staff in Polish Russia, for the commemoration of the 70th anniversary of the Katyn Forest massacre, was mysteriously crashed just in Smolensk, where exactly in 1939 Russia had already beheaded in one night the entire establishment in Poland.
The only thing certain at this point is that the Russian investigation files will remain on the genocide ordered by Stalin kept secret for much longer, long time.
