The term "Katyn massacre" originally referred specifically to the massacre at Katyn Forest, near the villages of Katyn and Gnezdovo (ca. 19 kilometres (12 mi) west of Smolensk, Russia), of Polish military officers in the Kozelsk prisoner-of-war camp. This was the largest of several simultaneous executions of prisoners of war. Other executions occurred at the geographically distant Starobelsk and Ostashkov camps,[5] at the NKVD headquarters in Smolensk, at a Smolensk slaughterhouse,[2] and at prisons in Kalinin (Tver), Kharkov, Moscow, and other Soviet cities.[3] Other executions took place at various locations in Belarus and Western Ukraine, based on special Katyn lists of Polish prisoners, prepared by the NKVD specifically for those regions.[3] The modern Polish investigation of the killings covered not only the massacre at Katyn forest, but also the other mass murders mentioned above. Polish organisations, such as the Katyn Committee and the Federation of Katyn Families, consider the victims murdered at the locations other than Katyn as part of the overall massacre
