TheBelarusian Katyn List (Polish:Białoruska Lista Katyńska) is the (hypothetical) list ofPolish citizens murdered by the NKVD in Belarus on the basis of the decision of thePolitburo of the All-Union Communist Party (Bolsheviks) and theUSSR state authorities of 5 March 1940, the victims of theKatyn massacre.^[1]

Indirectly it was established how many persons must be on the list. A 1969 note of the chief ofKGBAleksandr Shelepin toNikita Khrushchev says that 7,305 Polish citizens were killed in Ukraine and Belarus. Since the number from theUkrainian Katyn List is already known to be 3,435, the number of 3,870 was deduced. However unlike the Ukrainian list, the actual Belarusian list is not found yet, the Belarusian authorities being uncooperative.^[1]
