Summary/Abstract: The author emphasizes various degrees of guilt of the Soviet and Russian authorities in committing and hiding the crime of Katyn. Among those, we can count the Stalinist leadership in Kremlin, which ordered the massacre, the NKVD officers and employees who executed the order, the so-called Soviet inquiry commission on Katyn, which carefully dismissed all evidence about Soviet involvement, and the Soviet and later Russian judicial system who refused to take any action against the Katyn crime perpetrators. The same guilt is extended over all the Kremlin leaderships during the second half of the XXth century for not revealing the evidences in the Moscow archives.
