If you know of another Katyn related site, or one of the tags on this site does not work for you, I would welcome an email about it.
I am no more responsible for the opinions and "facts" that you will find on these listed sites than they are for my site and its opinions and "facts".
I am creating a page for transcripts in Polish of interviews with two Russian NKVD men about their involvement in the Katyn Massacre.
Katyn pages on this site
Dmirija Stepanovich Tokariewa [1902-1993], in 1940 Head of the NKVD for the Kalinin region of the Soviet Union, and Piotra Karpovich Soprunienko [1908-1992], in 1940, Head of the Board of the NKVD of the USSR for Prisoners of War and the Interned.
The draft page is here.
BEWARE: the list is over 400 pages long with several sections, so time or use of the search function is recommended.
For example: most of the police buried from Tver are listed after number 8587, but many from Tver are listed in other places, such as 274-284. Individuals such as 4301, 4302, 4303, 5432, 5488, 5868 and 6001 are also from Tver, but in the main list which is mostly from Katyn and Kharkov.

The Polish Karta Index of Repression includes the names of victims of
the Katyn Forest Massacre from the three camps: Kozielsk, Ostaszkow and
Starobielsk.
This page is in Polish. These are the terms used:Nazwisko =
Surname, Imie = Name, Imie ojca = Father's name, Data urodzenia = Born, then
from the Kategoria represji menu select a category, and click Szukaj = search.
Karta now also has an English front page and English and Russian search functions.

The material was compiled by Rafal Duda, Wojciech Krolicki and Wojciech Lechwar, students from class II in Zespol Szkol Zawodowych nr 3 at Katowice-Janow. It is the result of the project "Their ashes remained on inhuman land" carried out by the students under the guidance of Iwona Sulkowska in spring 2006.

The missing Poles were apparently shot in the Ukraine and Byelorussia. I
understand their names are listed in Polish language books; ie, for the
Ukraine dead: "Listy Katynskiej Ciag Dalszy. Straceni na Ukrainie." Niezalezny
komitet historyczny badania zbrodni Katynskies. Polska fundacja Katynska.
Centralna biblioteka Wojskowa. Warsawa 1994.
As you may gather Polish is not my strong point, so if I have
misinterpreted the above information I have been supplied with, will someone
Polish please email me with the correct information to post on this site.
Sadly it's now becoming fashionable again in some circles, intellectual and
otherwise, to try to rehabilitate Stalinism and communism generally.
That one is the bee's knees and has all the bells and whistles. However, if
you find it a bit crowded for on-line reading I suggest using this one
instead.
Where are the rest?

Fellow travellers and revisionists
In my
opinion the term "fellow-traveller" still has the old meaning when one is
considering the positions taken by those who write about Russia these terms
today. Walter Duranty, D N Pritt, Hewlett Johnson, etc, etc, would be proud of
them.
I think it is very sad that we still have people who deny the
extensive evidence of the terrible slaughter and suffering of the Stalin period
of Russian history.
For me there is little difference between the old
fellow-traveller and the new, except that now some of them are called
"historical revisionists".
I expect the pattern of Holocaust denial and
writings by Holocaust revisionists to be replicated by the Stalinists in regard
to the Soviet era in Russia.
Here are a few very good sites to start with
for those who wish to try and understand this complex phenomenon, which I think
usually needs to be understood and dealt with in psychological terms as much as
historical and/or political terms.
I think these are interesting sites.
