The effort could face twenty years of pressure as Poland, Austria, Czechoslovakia and Poland seek Pope Benedict XVI to help repatriate 200000 subjects held as POWs in Siberia amid harsh conditions. A Bolshevik official organ claims 14000 Russians were shot in the first quarter of the year by Moscow’s extraordinary committee.
