spgapi -- Please publish links rather than images that are graphic. From the forum and section rules:

3. Atrocity photographs

Atrocity photographs are not specifically covered in the forum rules. The policy here is, if the photos are "graphic," the contributor should post a link to the photographs, rather than the photographs themselves, so that the other viewers have a choice as to whether or not to take a look.

That leaves us with the question of what is "graphic." This is apparently discretionary with the moderator/host. Here's my view on it:

I don't care who is supposed to have committed the atrocities in the photographs. Whether the subject matter is Nazi, communist, ethnic, regional, racial, religious or any other type of atrocity, links and descriptions should be posted for the following classes of photographs and illustrations:

(a) Mutilated persons, alive or dead;

(b) Severed body parts, insufficient in themselves to constitute a person; and

(c) Dead persons who are not only dead, but who clearly appear to be the worse for wear.

There are specialty sites which cater to necro-voyeurs, but this isn't one of them. In case of doubt, ask first via private message.

Noncomplying posts will be deleted without warning.

Russian analyst blasted over shocking remarks about Polish WWII POWs
Polish Radio 22.01.2020 13:23

A Polish website has slammed what it said was an “absolutely outrageous statement” by a Russian political analyst who reportedly applauded a WWII decision by Josef Stalin to kill thousands of Polish prisoners of war in the early 1940s. According to the wpolityce.pl news website, Yevgeny Satanovsky, a prominent Russian political scientist who served as head of the Russian Jewish Congress from 2001 to 2004, has stated on Russian public television that erstwhile Soviet leader Josef Stalin was "right" to order the shooting of thousands of Polish prisoners of war in the Katyn Forest in the early days of World War II.

Following the Soviet invasion of Poland in September 1939, thousands of Polish officers were deported to camps in the Soviet Union.
Some 22,000 Polish prisoners of war and intellectuals were killed in the spring of 1940 on orders from top Soviet authorities in what is known as the Katyn Massacre.

'Russian propaganda campaign against Poland'

The wpolityce.pl website said Satanovsky’s shocking remarks appeared to be the latest salvo in a war of words over World War II history between Warsaw and Moscow and part of an intensifying “Russian propaganda campaign against Poland.” The Polish foreign ministry in late December summoned Russian Ambassador Sergey Andreyev over a string of claims by President Vladimir Putin about Poland’s role in World War II. Polish Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki said last month that Russia’s Putin “has lied about Poland on numerous occasions, and he has always done it deliberately.” Morawiecki said in an opinion piece published this week that “renewed attempts to paint Poland as a perpetrator, rather than a victim” of World War II “can’t be tolerated.”

Polish President Andrzej Duda has accused Putin of “post-Stalinist revisionism” and of trying to shift the blame for the outbreak of World War II onto Poland. The latest remarks by Russia's Satanovsky, who heads the Institute of Middle Eastern Studies in Moscow, come as the world prepares to commemorate 75 years since the liberation of the Nazi German death camp of Auschwitz, wpolityce.pl said.
