Talk:Katyn (rural locality)

origin of the name

hi, who knows the origin of the word "katyn"? Is it Turkic or something?

Not stub

This is not only a stub, it is also purest POV. War crimes have to be handled with care (sounds strange, I know).

May I ask: how is it not NPOV? ⇒ whkoh [talk][[]] 10:46, Mar 20, 2004 (UTC)

4000

What is the source of this 4000 figure please ? Lysy 18:50, 22 Mar 2005 (UTC)

What happened to this text

27 000 in Katyn? What is it about? Xx236 11:50, 12 January 2006 (UTC)

The highest estimate I have found is 25,700 [1]. It's likely this was some mispelling, I have corrected the article to give the lowest to highest estimates.--Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus ^Talk 05:34, 14 January 2006 (UTC)

Text now gives two contradictory figures - and the topic is fully covered in the Katyn massacre page. So I'm deleting it.--Jack Upland 04:43, 16 January 2006 (UTC)

Move

I suggest moving it to Katyn (village), and redirecting it to Katyn massacre (with a note 'Katyn redirects here') or at least creating an outright disambig. I am pretty sure 99% of people searching for Katyn are looking for the information about the massacre, not for the village.--Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus ^Talk 18:43, 2 May 2006 (UTC)

Good idea. I agree with you. Jacek Kendysz 12:25, 14 May 2006 (UTC)

done. //Halibutt 08:21, 6 June 2006 (UTC)

pronunciation

If anyone knows how to pronounce Katyn, please post it.

See Talk:Katyn massacre. //Halibutt 08:21, 6 June 2006 (UTC)

Only "Kа́tyn". See the official Russian website http://katyn-memorial.ru —Preceding unsigned comment added by Baffet (talk • contribs) 20:38, 17 April 2010 (UTC)

Savenkov

Savenkov part is flawed and in any case is not directly relevant to the article about the _village_. Since this is fully addressed in the Katyn massacre article, deleting. --Sergey Romanov (talk) 13:43, 24 February 2008 (UTC)

Source 5

Hi there, I was reading source 5 George Sanford.Katyn and the Soviet Massacre of 1940: Truth, Justice and Memory and page 70-77 is what is sourced. However, reading these pages I have not found any account and even infact the opposite:

" No document has emerged, and we just do not know if it ever will, reveal-ing what Beria and his top NKVD associates considered doing with the PoW "

Is this an issue? Graecia0 (talk) 20:48, 28 September 2023 (UTC)
