[Poland] Terror of the Soviet Union

This video will focus on the soviet terror in Poland. After the Polish-Soviet War the borders of the Second Polish Republic and the Soviet Union were established. In 1939 the nazis and the soviets signed the Molotov–Ribbentrop Pact. According to this pact spheres of influence were decided. In September 1939 Nazi Germany invaded Poland from the west (operation Fall Weiss / Case White) and the Soviet Union marched in from the east. The two totalitarian states carved up the Second Polish Republic. Poland was no more since the eastern areas were annexed by the Stalins soviet republics: Lithuania, Belarus and Ukraine. Soviet dictator Joseph Stalin unleashed a mass scale purge on the newly acquired territories. Polish citizens were deported or shot. Many of them perished in the gulag. Most infamous was the Katyn Massacre where the soviet secret service, the NKVD, executed over 22.000 Polish army officers and intelligentsia. In June 1941 Nazi Germany invaded the Soviet Union (Operation Barbarossa). Another soviet crime committed were the NKVD prison massacres where the soviet secret service executed all prisoners before retreating. When the nazis were pushed back by the soviets the Poles suffered once again under the regime of their former occupier.
