Russia opened an exhibition titled "10 Centuries of Polish Russophobia" at the Katyn memorial complex on 10 April, drawing condemnation from Polish officials and victims' families who called the timing and location "disgusting malice".
The exhibition opened on the 16th anniversary of the Smolensk air disaster, which resulted in the deaths of 96 people including Polish President Lech Kaczyński and his wife Maria on 10 April 2010, and three days before Poland's Day of Remembrance of the Victims of the Katyn Massacre on 13 April.
