The RIA Novosti (Russian) website reports that Jaroslaw Kaczynski -- twin brother of the late Polish president -- criticized a Russian report released today (January 12, 2011) regarding the plane crash that killed Lech Kaczynski and 95 other top officials in April 2010.
In its final report, Russia's Interstate Aviation Committee blames the tragedy on serious organizational flaws, poor pilot training, and pressure on the pilots to land the plane by Kaczynski and other high-ranking state officials on board the TU-154 plane.
Jaroslaw Kaczynski -- a losing candidate in early presidential elections that followed the death of his twin brother -- has repeatedly criticized incumbent Polish authorities for their failure to investigate the tragedy properly.
However, Russian investigators claim in the new report that their cooperation with Polish counterparts during the probe was very close and transparent. At least 24 Polish officials took part in the Russian investigation.
