Learning many times tightening on the horizontalist wants everyone ... But it turns out not ...
Silence Gorbachev
Making an announcement of the accident at the Chernobyl nuclear power plant only two weeks after the tragedy, then the Secretary-General of the Party caused many rumors: why was it silent? Now they are explained by the fact that they simply did not have suitable dosimeters capable of measuring such a strong radiation background.
Biological weapons
There is evidence that in 1942, Stalin used biological weapons against the Germans, infecting them with tularemia with rats (version not confirmed). But it is just known that the development of such weapons was very active. Where are they today that it has become - the public does not know.
Caribbean crisis
Why Cuba has placed the USSR nuclear weapons, and what did Nikita Khrushchev Fidel and Raul Castro, as well as Che Guevar? The secret protocols of these negotiations, dated 1962, no one seen to this day.
Operation KGB "Flute"
When the "traitor of the Motherland" (for Americans, of course), a scientist from the US, Ken Alibek - ran into the USSR and headed the program of biological weapons, the main goal of the Flute operation was the development of psychotropic substances for special operations and even political killings. What it all ended, only Alibek himself knows.
Fears of the Kremlin
It is said that in 1981, Yury Andropov was just in a panic, expecting a nuclear attack of the United States from day to day. The KGB and Gru was his clear order to monitor any information about this, and most of the intelligence in the grains collected information about American exercises - not veiled, they say, preparing for war?
Ural bunker
It was rumored that the underground grotto "Grotto" in the Urals - in fact, the headquarters of rocket and strategic forces, the only one in the country can survive at a nuclear attack. Americans and to this day break the head, why did they build it?
Defense budget
Efficiency of exploration of the USSR
Are Russian scouts good? - They ask their overseas colleagues. If the guys were at least once watched the legendary film "Seventeen Moments of Spring", the question would have walked away by himself, confident by the Men's online magazine M Port. Nevertheless, there is a version that the Soviet Spies reported to the highest management only that the elderly bonsis wanted to hear - and nothing on top.
Well, to guess where the truth is - and where the fiction will have for a long time: Soviet secrets are on the Soviet, so that no one ever learned them. In addition to the Soviet people themselves, of course, we are all in the soul and remain.
Are you interested in the secrets of our past?
In the Soviet Union, the secrets were able to store and loved. So, in fact, it is easier to manage the country, whose citizens live under the motto "know less - better sleep." And publicity, and the subsequent collapse of the country of the Councils could not be made through the half-century armor of the non-radiation and frank lie.
What, for example, was hiding behind the scenes of the Caribbean crisis? Where did the portable nuclear bombs come from in the Soviet Union? And the most interesting thing - where, in the end, there were billions from the inviolable stock of "party gold"?
Moon program
By the 60s of the last century, the USSR was leading in a cosmic race. The first satellite, the first animal, the first person - so how did the Americans sucked on the moon? Until 1981, the Soviet Union did generally denied the existence of the piloted lunar program - while the Space-434 satellite did not enter the atmosphere over Australia. Then I had to admit that it was an experimental spacecraft to the moon, but no other features of the program are still unknown.
Portable nuclear bomb
Rumors that the Soviet Union has developed portable nuclear weapons turned out to be true. Unforgettable Memory General Swan talked to the Western press, which he himself saw these nuclear devices. The so-called "nuclear wretcher" of Rya-6 weighing 25 kilograms and a capacity of one kilotonna was armed with GRU.
Biological weapons
According to rumors, the biological weapon appeared from the Soviest countries even during World War II. Western experts are now believed that in 1942, Soviet scientists have infected the German invaders of Tularerey, which was transferred pre-infected rats.

Caribbean crisis
In 1962, several rounds of secret negotiations took place between Nikita Khrushchev, Raul Castro and Enresto Che Herbara. Results everyone is well known: Cuba agreed to place nuclear weapons on their territory - but what could promise the head of the USSR in exchange for such a risk?
Operation "Flute"
Everyone knows that the Americans spent experiments on the use of psychotropic drugs over their soldiers. The head of the direction, scientists Ken Alibek, became a reprimor and headed the development of psychotropic drugs under the development of the KGB. The Flute operation was held in several stages: murders, abductions, flipped with the use of the newest psychotropic drugs.
Bunker last hit
The secret underground bunker "Grotto" has already "glowing" in the press. Each time the existence of this dinosaur, the Times of the USSR was explained otherwise - then the uranium is produced here, then the refuge for the government is built. The Americans have already believed for a long time (and maybe they were right) that the secret headquarters of the rocket and strategic forces of the "response strike" is located here.
Gold party
Probably the most popular secret of the post-Soviet period is the question where the notorious "gold party" was actually deval. Huge, truly incredible amounts of money in gold remained from the Communist Party after the collapse of the USSR. And then they simply dissolved in the air.
What is your friend is kind?! Ask for a person who served in the army of the USSR / Russia 26 calendar years, "Did he see a vulture" secret "?" - This is a slight form of spiritual ailment ...
P.S. And you did not try to contact Yandex and Google? Let's try together, write like this: secrecy vultures in the Russian army.
Sho we see:
http://partners.academic.ru/dic.nsf/enviki/436841.
Vulture secrecy - Details, indicating the degree of secrecy of the information contained in their carrier, affiliated on the medium itself and / or in the accompanying documentation on it.
The degree of secrecy of information constituting the state secret must correspond to the severity of the damage, which may be affected by the state of state due to the dissemination of the indicated information.
In the Russian Federation, in accordance with the Decree of the Government of the Russian Federation dated September 4, 1995 N 870. "On approval of the rules for the assignment of information constituting a state secret to various degrees of secrecy" information attributed to the state secret to the degree of secrecy is divided into information:
* special importance: For information, special importance should include information in the field of military, foreign policy, economic, scientific and technical, intelligence, counterintelligence and operational research activities, the dissemination of which can cause damage to the interests of the Russian Federation in one or several of the listed areas.
* top secret: Common secret information should include information in the field of military, foreign policy, economic, scientific and technical, intelligence, counterintelligence and operational investigative activities, the dissemination of which can cause damage to the interests of the Ministry (Office) or the industry of the Russian Federation in one or several of the listed regions.
* secret: Secretaries should include all other information from the number of information constituting the state secrecy. Damage to the security of the Russian Federation in this case is the damage to the interests of the enterprise, institutions or organization in the military, foreign policy, economic, scientific and technical, intelligence, counterintelligence or operational investigation field of activity.
It is not allowed to use secrecy vultures to classify information, not referred to the state secrets.
In the Russian Federation (as in the USSR, before this), there is also a privacy of " for administrative use", Which is placed on uncommittent documents of state authorities, a restriction on the spread of which is dictated by an official need.
Within the Soviet Union, many events took place, the existence of which was carefully hidden. It is known that today the FSB hide the secrets of the USSR. The curiosity of people does not fade, so more and more magazines make up lists of the most mysterious events. Especially valuable information is considered memories of former intelligence officers.
Curiosity to this topic has spread to the West - the American magazine "Foreign Policy" published its rating of mysterious events of the Soviet Union. Places in our ranking are very conditional, since all events are shrouded in secret, and to award some of them a certain weight and degree of secureness, it is impossible. Until now, the public is unknown by their causes of appearance and features inside each. We present the top 10 most secret secrets of the USSR.
1. Marine Monster
The American spy satellite in 1966 recorded the Russian hydroplane in the Caspian Sea. The US government was puzzled, since the Russian vessel was much larger than the usual aircraft of the United States. Studying the structure of the vessel, American experts concluded, the size of the wing is too large in order to allow the aircraft to take off. The name "Sea Monster" The ship received due to its unusual structure: the aircraft engines were located closer to the nose than to the wings. The Caspian monster was similar to a mixture of a ship and aircraft. By assumptions, the ship took off a few meters from the water. In the USSR, it was forbidden to even pronounce the name of the mysterious ship. It was only aware that the structure of the hydroplane was invested huge amounts of money. Military forces pinned high hopes for a new development - the ship could transport hundreds of military personnel, as well as develop speed 500 km per hour. The most important advantage of the sea monster was that with all its sizes he remained invisible to radar. In fact, the hydroplane is not a completely suitable name for this vessel. Later, the marine monster received another name - the screenoplan. As a result of the collapse of the USSR, the curiosity of the American authorities to the new Russian development went out.
2. Gold party
The fate of the USSR gold medal funds extended the public of the 90s. The theme of the disappearance of gold reserves of the party was one of the most discussed. However, no one has learned the truth. Even political figures took part in the search for party funds. Many politicians who, anyway, have a relation to the "big money" of the parties, were regularly interrogated. There was no specific information to achieve, as practically everyone stated that the Gold Party was not more than a myth. Suspicious of impressive auditing funds arose after the collapse of the USSR. One of the most popular versions is the gold reserves of parties are stored in foreign accounts. According to rumors, the Fund size is calculated billions of dollars. However, today the existence of these funds has not been proven.

3. Nuclear suitcase
The topic of portable nuclear devices was actively discussed in 1997-1998. About the "nuclear suitcase" became known after the statement of the governor of the Krasnoyarsk Territory, Alexander Lebed. He personally announced the disappearance of several portable missiles. Once in the hands of terrorists, this weapon represented world danger. Events in Russia of the first half of the 90s weakened the economic and political situation in the country, as a result of which access to nuclear weapons was opened most of the population. According to Alexei Arbatov, the existence of a nuclear suitcase is ambiguous. Until 1997, the topic of portable guns was not discussed. According to experts, this information refers to a very short period of time. Due to the insufficient number of information, it cannot be considered reliable and use as a proven source for further action. The first mention of portable weapons arose in 1997. For all assumptions, nuclear warheads were seen from the Government of Chechnya. A special commission was created, which was able to find 48 warheads from 132. Thus, the fate of 84 portable devices remains unknown. Military experts assumed that portable nuclear devices were small, possessed a small power, and in peacetime were stored in a disassembled form.
4. Caribbean crisis
The so-called "October crisis" occurred in 1962 as a result of confrontation between the United States and the USSR. The essence of the conflict was secretly moving the military Russian bases into the territory of Cuba. In 1961, the American authorities decided to place the medium-range rocket in Turkey - Jupiter. According to experts, in the event of military operations, the capital of the Soviet Union could achieve, as well as important industrial centers. As a willingness to this event, the USSR decided to accommodate their military units in Cuba. This allowed the forces of the USSR to be ready for possible attacks. The American side was concerned about the placement of Soviet missiles near the US coast. President John Kennedy organized a meeting of advisers to solve the settlement of the Caribbean conflict. Diplomatic methods of solutions were immediately excluded. Military actions were welcomed. Advisors came to a general decision: naval blockade or ultimatum. The Caribbean crisis played the role of a turning point during the Cold War. However, many are still wondering: "Why were the Soviet military units been posted on Cuba?". The secrecy of this case is that no one has been able to see the plausible protocols and official documents dated 1962. It is possible to remain the leader of the position, sometimes you need to show a seammer and trick.

5. Silence Gorbachev
The explosion at the Chernobyl nuclear station occurred on April 26, 1986. However, Mikhail Gorbachev reported the tragedy only two weeks later. The newspaper "True" from April 27 is written about the subbotnik, who was organized in honor of Lenin's birthday. Unlike the Soviet media, Swedish newspapers published the news of the Chernobyl, April 28. What did the Soviet authorities hide? Why was it much important to the Saturday, rather than the tragedy on Chernobyl? According to some versions it is believed that the authorities did not have special devices in the arsenal, which would measure the power of the atomic impact. The Soviet authorities were not prepared for such a tragedy, and even moreover, to recognize this failure. The news about the cleanup was published a few more days. Next, news columns were devoted to the first celebration. And only on May 4 with a small title in the newspapers "True" and "Labor" there were little notes about what happened on Chernobyl. Despite the fact that this event is a real tragedy, published it as a "visit to the Chernobyl Nuclear Station." It is worth noting that the Soviet authorities actively prevented the interference of other countries. On May 5, the leadership of the USSR expressed gratitude to the countries that wanted to help, but emphasized that they could cope with themselves. What is the cause of silence of Gorbachev? Why did the public learned about the tragedy only two weeks later, when foreign newspapers have already told about what happened? The answers to these questions are still unexplored.
6. Operation "Flute"
The development of biological weapons was strictly prohibited. However, it was known that the Soviet authorities secretly prepared for the upcoming biological war. The KGB was engaged in the development of biological weapons. According to the Geneva Protocol of 1925, the parties did not have the right to create such a weapon. However, contrary to this, the Soviet authorities began work already in 1926. The outbreak of any infection, or the epidemic immediately turned out to be under the cover of state secrets. Information on biological weapons was available to four persons - M. Gorbachev, D. Yatzow, V.Kryuchkov and L. Zakkov. The rest of political figures were ordered not to worry. The society has suggested the hopes on the witnesses of the Flute operation, but in response - silence. By assumptions, people who had access to secret information had no right to disclose it. Everything is explained by a certain signed document, which indicates that in the event of information leakage, the perpetrator will suffer. Full and reliable information to the Soviet people was not destined to find out. The KGB services carefully cleaned the archive and hid all documents that could give any information about the development of biological weapons.

7. The fears of the Kremlin
Yuri Andropov is one of the most mysterious and mysterious politicians of Soviet power. It is still unknown, as he managed to inherit the place of the Secretary General of the CPSU Central Committee. In 1981, the government agencies of the KGB and BRU were ordered to carefully monitor all US military operations. Operation was organized, during which intelligence on military exercises and arms of the American side were conducted. Each detail was fixed by special services. Information about this intelligence is negligible. The question arises - were the Soviet authorities of the future war were not afraid? Perhaps the state power wanted to be prepared for unforeseen circumstances.
8. Ural bunker
The secret military complex was found on the territory of the Southern Urals. The existence of the Ural bunker dates back to the times of the Cold War. By assumptions, the bunker plays a role of some shelter in the event of a nuclear war. Also, the underground complex serves as a basis for developing weapons. Curious tourists say that near the bunker is forbidden to light fire, noise and generally, it is not recommended to attract attention. The closed base is under guard. There are constantly on duty armed military and huntsman. Any passersogue incomprehensible to them is immediately interrogated. In fact, the Ural bunker is an underground city. It is equipped with all communications. The city in Mount is designed for living in it 300 thousand people. Recently, the current president, Vladimir Putin, is increasingly visiting a secret complex in the Urals. On the question of what the base was built, the president did not answer. It is only known that the construction continues from the times of the Cold War, and the reasons to keep in a strict mystery.

9. Defense budget
American intelligence agencies have been trying to calculate for a long time how many Soviet authorities spent on the defense of the USSR. The CIA service is confident that the cost of defensive power amounted to at least 20% of the economy of the USSR. The exact figures are unknown, however, the fact that the USSR military preparation was at the highest level, remains a fact.
10. Efficiency of exploration of the USSR
This topic bodied the interest of American journalists over long years. The effectiveness of Soviet intelligence was studied by the US intelligence services, but all to no avail. There was no accurate data on the number of spent and consumed raw materials. The American side only suggested that due to the lack of information, the exploration of the USSR used materials from newspapers. In the meantime, information on the activities of exploration of the USSR is prohibited. Curious American journalists never managed to find out the secret of Soviet exploration special services. Previously mentioned, and it was known that foreign journalists are looking for tricks in facts to put Russia not in the best light. Soviet authorities tried to thoroughly hide some events from the public. Their quantity can only be assumed, because only a part of the secrets are described above, which are available as information to almost every citizen.
Communist Russia was an example of openness and political transparency. This is not a common statement, at least beyond the limits of North Korea. (Although if you read it, most likely you are not there.) In any case, this sarcasm serves as a reminder that in the Soviet Union really loved to keep secrets - the following are ten secrets, which you may not know.
10. The largest nuclear catastrophe in the world (at that time)
When people hear the largest nuclear catastrophes, Chernobyl and Fukushima will come to the majority of mind. Few people know about the third nuclear catastrophe - the Kyshtym accident of 1957, which occurred near the city of Kyshtym in the south of Russia. As in the case of the Chernobyl accident, the main reason for the disaster was poor design, namely the construction of the cooling system, which was impossible to fix it. When the coolant began to flow from one of the tanks, the workers simply turned off it and did not touch it for a whole year. Who needs cooling systems in Siberia?
It turns out to cool the capacities in which radioactive waste is stored. The temperature in the tank increased to 350 degrees Celsius, which ultimately led to an explosion that threw a 160 ton concrete lid into the air (which was originally 8 meters underground). Radioactive substances spread to 20,000 square kilometers.
At home, 11,000 people were destroyed after the evacuation of nearby territories, and about 2,70,000 people underwent radioactive effects. Only in 1976, the Soviet emigrant first mentioned a catastrophe in the Western press. The CIA knew about a catastrophe since the 60s, but, fearing the negative attitude of the Americans to his own nuclear industry, decided to undertake the seriousness of the accident. Only in 1989, three years after the Chernobyl accident, the details of the catastrophe in Kyshtym became known to the public.
9. Pilotable moon program
In May 1961, US President John Kennedy announced that he believed that the United States should send a person to the moon by the end of the decade. By the time the Soviet Union was leading in a space race - the first object launched into orbit, the first animal in orbit and the first person in space. However, on July 20, 1969, Nile Armstrong became the first person who visited the moon, thereby defeating the Soviet Union in this race. In the race, in which the Soviet Union officially did not participate - until 1990, the USSR denied that they had their own piloted lunar program. It was part of a policy, in which each space program was kept secret until she was completed.
The Soviet Union had to partially recognize the existence of a program in August 1981, when Soviet Space-434 satellite, launched in 1971, entered the atmosphere over Australia. The Government of Australia, concerned that nuclear materials may be present on board, was certified by the USSR Foreign Minister, which satellite was an experimental lunar ship.
Other details of the program, including test launches, were hidden. The test of lunar spaces during the docking of spacecraft in 1969 was presented as part of the construction of the Space Station - the USSR continued to argue that they did not have plans for landing on the moon. As a result, the failed Soviet program on landing on the moon was closed in 1976.
8. Casket of creativity
In the 1990s, Western journalists and diplomats were invited to the secret museum, hidden in the remote city of Nukus, Uzbekistan. Hundreds of works of art dated to the beginning of the Stalinist regime were kept in the museum, when artists were forced to comply with the ideals of the Communist Party. "The decomposing bourgeois creativity" was replaced by the paintings of the factory and without the participation of Igor Savitsky (collector), most of the artists of the time would be completely lost.
Savitsky convinced artists and their families entrust him to their work. He hid them in Nukus - a city, surrounded by hundreds of kilometers of desert.
This is a unique point in this list as it tells about what was hidden not so much from the world around, as from the despotic regime. Despite the fact that the question of the importance of creativity itself remains open, the value of the story about how creativity was held in the secret decades, no doubt causes any doubt.
7. Death of cosmonaut
The Soviet Union is not once "washing" astronauts from its history. So, for example, data about the first cosmonaut, died during the cosmic race were hidden. Valentin Bondarenko died during a workout in March 1961. They did not know about his existence in the West until 1982, and public recognition was followed only in 1986. The nervous should be abstained from reading the next paragraph.
During the insulation exercise in the barocamera, Bondarenko made a fatal error. After he took off his medical sensor and cleaned the skin with alcohol, he threw wool on the hot tile, which he used to make tea, after which she flashed. When he tried to glue the fire with his sleeve, the atmosphere, consisting of 100% of oxygen, contributed to the fact that his clothes broke out. It took several minutes to open the door. By the time the astronaut received burns of the third degree of the whole body, except for the feet - the only place where the doctor was able to find blood vessels. The skin, hair and eyes of Bondarenko were burned. He whispered "too hurt ... Do something to stop pain." After sixteen hours, he died.
The denial of this incident is only in order to avoid bad news, it was a very bad solution.
6. Mass hunger - one of the worst in history
1932 heard about hunger (holodomor), however, internal and external attempts to hide this fact worth mentioning. In the early 1930s, the policy of the Soviet Union led (whether it is deliberately or not) to death of several millions of people.
It would seem that it would be difficult to hide from the outside world, however, fortunately for Stalin and his subordinates, the rest of the world hesitated between the pre-male ignition and the denial of the facts.
New York Times, like the rest of the American press, hid or understood hunger in the USSR. Stalin organized several pre-prepared rounds for foreign commissions: the stores were filled with food, but anyone who dared to approach the store, arrested; The streets were washed, and all the peasants were replaced by members of the Communist Party. Herbert Wells (H G Wells) from England and George Shaw (George Bernard Shaw) from Ireland said that the rumors about hunger were unreasonable. Moreover, after the French Prime Minister visited Ukraine, he described it as a "flowering garden."
By the time the results of the 1937 census were classified, the hunger was already overcome. Despite the fact that the number of victims of the Holodomor is comparable to the Holocaust, an assessment of hunger, as crimes against humanity, was given only in the last ten years.
5. Schedule
In 1966, the American spy satellite captured the unfinished Russian hydroplan. The aircraft was larger than any aircraft with which the United States possessed. He was so big that, according to experts, such a wing scope would not allow the aircraft to fly well. Even more strange was that the engines of the aircraft were much closer to the nose than to the wings. The Americans were puzzled and remained puzzled until the USSR fell aparts in 25 years. The Caspian Sea Monster, as it was called then, was a screenwall - a vehicle similar to a mixture of an airplane and a ship that flies just a few meters from the water.
Even mention of the name of the apparatus was prohibited by those who participated in its development, despite the fact that huge amounts of money were allocated for the project. In the future, these devices, of course, were very helpful. They could transport hundreds of soldiers or even several tanks at 500 km / h, while remaining unnoticed for radar. They are even more fuel efficient than the best modern cargo aircraft. The Soviet Union even built one such unit, in length exceeding the Boeing 747 2.5 times, equipped with 8 reactive engines and six nuclear warheads on the roof (what else can be installed on the jet-to-ship on the delivery of tanks?)
4. The worst catastrophe associated with the rocket, in the history
Emptying attitude to health and safety was not limited to nuclear waste. On October 23, 1960, a new secret missile was prepared in the Soviet Union - P-16. Next to the launcher in which the rocket was located using a new type of fuel, there were many specialists. A nitric acid leakage was formed in the rocket - the only correct solution in this case was the beginning of the evacuation of all who were nearby.
However, instead, the commander of the project Mitrofan Niznin ordered to patch the leakage. When the explosion occurred, all on the starting pad immediately died. The fireball was hot enough to melt the platform cover, because of which many who tried to run out stuck in place and were burned alive. As a result of the incident, more than a hundred people died. It remains the worst rocket catastrophe in history.
Soviet propaganda instantly began its work. It was alleged that the positive was died in a plane crash. Reports about the explosion appeared as rumors that swept the USSR. The first confirmation of the incident appeared only in 1989. To date, a monument was established, dedicated to those who died in that catastrophe (but not very positive). Although he officially remains a hero, those who have any connection with this catastrophe remember him as a person responsible for the death of hundreds of people trusted to him.
3. Flash of smallpox (and containment program)
In 1948, a classified laboratory engaged in biological weapons on the island in the Aral Sea was created in the Soviet Union. The laboratory was engaged in the transformation of Siberian ulcers and the bubonic plague in the weapon. They also developed an ibued weapon and in 1971 even conducted an outdoor test. According to the mysterious setting of events, the weapon designed to cause an outbreak of smallpox when activated in the open air, really caused an outbreak of smallpox. Ten people got sick, three died. Hundreds of people were placed in quarantine, as well as for 2 weeks 50 thousand people from nearby territories received vaccinations from smallpox.
The incident was widely known only in 2002. The flash was effectively prevented, however, despite the scale of the incident, Moscow did not recognize the incident. This is a deplorable, since from this case it was possible to make valuable lessons that could occur if the biological weapon would ever get into the hands of terrorists.
2. Dozen cities
In the south of Russia there is a city that was not on the same map. It did not exist as the routes that stayed in it and road signs confirming its existence. Postal addresses in it were listed as Chelyabinsk-65, although almost 100 kilometers were from Chelyabinsk. Its current name is Ozersk and, despite the fact that there were tens of thousands of people lived in it, the existence of the city was unknown even in Russia until 1986. Secrecy was caused by the presence of a factory for the processing of spent nuclear fuel. An explosion occurred at this plant in 1957, but because of secrecy, the catastrophe was called around the city, which was located a few kilometers from Ozersk. This city was Kyshtym.
Ozersk is one of the dozens of secret cities of the USSR. At the moment, it is known about 42 such cities, but it is believed that about 15 cities are still under the cover of secrets. Residents of these cities were provided by the best meal, schools and comfortable conditions than the rest of the country. Those who still live in such cities are cling to their isolation - a few strangers, which are allowed to visit cities, are usually under the escort of the guards.
In an increasingly open and global world, many leave closed cities and, most likely, there are some limit of how much time these cities can still be closed. However, many of these cities continue to perform their original function - whether it is the production of plutonium or the provision of marine fleet.
1. Katynsky shot
As in the case of the hunger of 1932, the international denial of the Katyn shooter deserves the first place in this list for these murders. In the 1940s, NKVD officers killed more than 22,000 prisoners from Poland and buried them in mass burials. According to the official version, the fascist troops were responsible for it. True was recognized only in 1990. So far, everything is predictable - however, this hiding the crime fell on the first place of the list due to the fact that the shooting was managed by the forces not only the Soviet Union, but also with the help of the leaders of the United States and the United Kingdom.
Winston Churchill in an informal conversation confirmed that the shooting was most likely conducted by the Bolsheviks who "can be very cruel." However, he insisted that the Government of Poland in exile cease to make prosecution imposed censorship to his press, Churchill also helped prevent an independent investigation into the incident by the International Red Cross Committee. The Great British Ambassador to Poland described how "the use of a good reputation of England to conceal the fact that the killers were hidden with the help of needles." Franklin Roosevelt also did not want wines for executions to lay on Stalin.
Evidence that the US government knew about the true culprits of Katyn shooting, were hidden during the 1952 parliamentary hearings. Moreover, the only government that said the truth about those events was the government of Nazi Germany. This is another sentence that can be read very infrequently.
It is easy to criticize the leaders of countries that actually left unpunished criminals, but Germany, and then Japan were more important problems, which means it was sometimes necessary to take very difficult solutions. The Soviet Union with his military and industrial superpower was necessary. "The government in these events accuses only a common enemy," Churchill wrote.
