#2 It should be noted that the NKVD did execute a number of Polish military officers in the aftermath of their occupation of Poland post 1939.

There are memorials to that effect in Russia and the Belorussia.

They claim they didn't do it in Katyn Forest.

Per word of absurd tortured Dürre,
A turd put on trial
By one vastly more vile
And his kangaroo court! [comrades URAA]

#4 Poor sods. Some of them may even believe it. Like they have a choice:

Over a decade ago, current leader Vladimir Putin began changing the official history and textbooks. Most of the new soldiers in 2022 are unfamiliar with the pre-Putin data on wartime losses and practices. In the last year Putin has made it a crime to dispute his version of the facts or to criticize the performance of Russian troops in Ukraine.
