Forgotten inconvenient truth from WWII

Mackiewicz's book uncovers one of the most inhumane actions by the British political leadership during the WWII. It concerns the fate of thousands of Cossacks from the southern parts of Russia (Kuban) and eastern Ukraine. They were one group out of about 1.8 million Soviets who welcomed German invasion of 1941. The Allies forcefully returned many thousands of Russians who were POW's in Germany to the Soviet Union where they were sent to the Gulag and where most of them perished. The forceful return of the Cossacks to the Soviet Union is the epitomy of the Allied's complicity in the Stalin's genocide during and after the WWII. Mackiewicz was one of the few who saw the just uncovered mass graves of 15,000 to 24,000 Polish officers executed in the forest near Katyn. Russia to this day denies any genocidal attributes to this crime... Czechnya is the example of genocidal continuation of the Soviet policies in today's Kremlin.
