A Divided Commemoration of Polish/Russian Plane Crash

In Warsaw there were two conflicting ceremonies yesterday for those who died on April 10th, 2010, when an airplane carrying Poland's president and his wife, scholars, legislators, military, and others crashed in Smolensk, Russia. Tensions are being fed by the question of blame and the revived history of distrust regarding the country's neighbour to the east.
