It is reported that President Lech Kaczynski and, among others, his wife and the President of the Polish Central Bank are among the dead in a plane crash at Smolensk. They were on their way to Katyn to commemorate the massacre of the Polish Officer Corps during the war.
Former President Putin has been put in charge of the negotiations and, given that relations between Poland and Russia have not been good of late, it is hoped that he can come up quickly with an open report.
Kaczynski was a trade union activist and was imprisoned in 1981 when the Communists imposed martial law. At one time he was president while his twin brother was Prime Minister.
