Katyn, Disinformation, and Memory: a new article in De Militaire Spectator

De Militaire Spectator, the military-academic journal of the Netherlands Armed Forces — has published the article written by Beata Bruggeman-Sekowska entitled “De leugen als wapen: Katyn en georganiseerde desinformatie” (“The Lie as a Weapon: Katyn and Organized Disinformation”).
Eighty-five years after the Katyn massacre, the subject remains strikingly relevant. What the Soviets once called desinformatsija has become a powerful tool in modern geopolitics — even among world leaders.
In the article, she also examines among others the secret clause of the Molotov–Ribbentrop Pact between two totalitarian regimes, which divided Poland in two and gave the Soviets carte blanche to annex countries such as Lithuania, Latvia, Estonia, Finland, and parts of Romania. The printed edition will appear this summer.
