history, Class Cleansing : The Massacre at Katyn, Revisiting the events of the 1940 Katyn Massacre, in which some 25,000 Polish prisoners of war were shot by the Soviet secret police on Stalin's orders, Victor Zaslavsky explores a paradigmatic and terrifying example of the policy of class cleansing practiced in the Soviet Union and its occupied territories during World War II. By blaming the Katyn Massacre on the Nazis, the Soviets constructed one of the greatest historiographical falsifications of the twentieth century. Based on secret documents of the Soviet regime that became available only after its collapse, Zaslavsky unearths the methods used to create and maintain the Soviet "official version" of what happened at Katyn, a process involving the complicity of Western governments and left-leaning historians, which resulted in the upholding of this falsification until the fall of the Soviet Union. Class Cleansing was awarded Honorable Mention in the 2008 London Book Festival. Praise for Class Cleansing "Armed with fresh materials from the Russian archives, Victor Zaslavsky recounts the chilling history of the 1940 massacre of over 20,000 Polish officers and leaders by Stalin's regime. His engaging story includes shameful Soviet attempts of coverup, from the discovery of the bodies during the war through Nuremberg, Gorbachev and Putin. Katyn was a Polish tragedy, but also a black mark on the history of international relations in the 20th century." --Norman M. Naimark, Robert and Flor.
