The provided text outlines the systematic and multi-pronged campaign of political subjugation and cultural eradication orchestrated by the Soviet Union against the Polish people during and after World War II. It details the Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact as the genesis of the tragedy, leading to the dismantling of the Polish state and mass deportations. The source highlights the Katyn Forest Massacre as a prime example of the deliberate elimination of Poland's intellectual and military elite. Furthermore, it describes the brutal conditions of forced labor and exile in Siberia and Central Asia, the betrayal during the Warsaw Uprising, and the post-war imposition of a communist puppet regime. Finally, the text emphasizes the long-lasting societal repercussions of forced migration and the decades-long suppression of historical truth, underscoring the profound and enduring impact of Soviet actions on Polish national memory and identity.
