Stalin's Grandson Seeks to Cancel Russian Duma Resolution on Katyn Case

Josepf Stalin's grandson Yevgeny Dzhugashvili has appealed to the Supreme Court in his challenge to the State Duma's resolution on the massacre of Polish POWs in Katyn. His lawsuit claims that "the offensive legal act presents false information diminishing Stalin's merits to Russia's authorities and citizens and the authorities and citizens of other countries."  The Duma resolution says that the Katyn massacre was committed under Stalin's direct order. According to Dzhugashvili, Hermann Goering and Alfred Jodl were convicted of the crime in the Nuremberg trials. http://www.rapsinews.com/judicial_news/20120420/262884581.html
