one of the sources is Guinness World Records
Personally, I don’t trust any sources that aren’t a French tire company.
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
