(April 10) -- Poland's president, his wife and some of the country's most prominent military and civilian leaders died this morning when their plane crashed while coming in for a landing in thick fog in western Russia.

Russian and Polish officials gave differing death tolls but agreed there were no survivors.

President Lech Kaczynski and his wife Maria were heading to Russia's Smolensk region to mark the 70th anniversary of the Katyn massacre, where Soviet secret police killed thousands of Polish officers during World War II.

Sad news. I've actually seen the movie of the same name(Katyn) about the massacre.

I watched a show a few months back where they talked about how Vlad has pics taken of him with his shirt off doing various manly things to show that he is physically fit therefore not a weak leader. Propaganda is still alive and well in Mother Russia!
