I found a copy of the book that this 7,000 number is sourced from (Michael Parrish, The Lesser Terror: Soviet State Security, 1939-1953) and it cites the testimony of a “V. S. Tokarev” (named as Dmitry Tokarev in other sources) who was apparently a major general of the NKVD and gave some kind of confession in the 90s. I don’t really know anything about this guy… or the Katyn massacre in general. Does anyone have anything I can read about this whole thing?
In other words… how do you know they’re making it up?
Thank you, I’ll read this
one of the sources is Guinness World Records
Personally, I don’t trust any sources that aren’t a French tire company.
