The Katyn Massacre reffered to a series of mass executions of Polish officers and intelectuals in the Spring of 1940 following the Soviet invasion of Poland in several prison camps although it was named after the region of the Katyn Forest where mass graves were first discovered. Investigations into the murders were conducted by various countries and agencies and it was determined that the massacre was initiated and carried out by the NKVD the Soviet Secret Police. The Soviets vehemently denied their involvment and claimed the Nazis had killed those 20 000 Poles. It was not until the early 1990s when Russia finally accepted responsibilty for the executions but refused to identify them as war crimes. In the meantime in 1951 and 1952 a new US Congressional investigation was initiated led by the so called Madden Committee which yet again confirmed that the NKVD had murdered the Polish prisoners. The current statement was issued by the outraged Soviet Government protesting the reopening of the case the investigations and the allegations and resupplying the facts of their own discoveries which proved the Nazi's responsibility for the murders.
