Dear Editor:

After reading the story "Dirt" by Vadym Semenko, I fully agree with his depiction of the situation in Ukraine and the rest of the former Soviet empire.

There has not been one single trial of the people responsible for mass murder, genocide, deportations, etc.; no trial of persons implicated in murder, executions, crimes against humanity.  There never will be — not until they get rid of the criminals running the country now.  How can they prosecute each other?

My father was shot at Katyn Forest with thousands of other Polish officers.  Why such silence from Poland?  The Reds were involved; now they are running the country again.  No one was ever charged with that crime.  They are sitting comfortably collecting pensions.

I have one suggestion: cut out all support to Ukraine from all our Canadian and American organizations until they put their house in order.
