In another of those tragedies that only the Slavic soul can seem to bear, the top civil servants, political leaders, military and cultural elite of Poland were decimated in a tragic air crash, in Russia.
The whole country has been thrown in to mourning, and we all wish the country well, but the irony of the situation lies in the fact that the reason why they were all in the one plane and flying over Russia in the first place, was that the Russians had finally admitted that their responsibility for one of the worst war crimes of World War II and invited the Poles to a service of remembrance.
The crime to be remembered was the mass murder of the military elite of Poland in the Katyn massacre - the murder of more than 20,000 Polish officers by the Soviet secret police, the NKVD, in the forests of nearby Katyn and elsewhere, in 1940.
