Source post #3
I will be using an article by Anne Applebaum from the Washington Post which delves into why talk of Katyn and the eery forests surrounding it spark nasty visions of haunted spirits. She also touches on how conspiracy theories have risen as a result of the ironic plane crash, yet claims that these really only appear on "fringe websites" or come from the "odd politician." This article is mostly just more of the same types of articles I currently have under my belt - the kind that have a specific voice from the author, go into the history of Katyn very briefly, and offer their own two cents.

Anne Applebaum is no friend of communism, and she's written a well-recieved book-- "Gulag: A History of the Soviet Camps" in 2003. She often writes for the New York Review of Books as well.
