Grover Furr has compiled and summarized new evidence from primary sources and secondary literature which effectively refute the primary arguments in favour of the revisionist theory of the massacre.<ref>Grover Furr, “The ‘Official’ Version of the Katyn Massacre Disproven? Discoveries at a German Mass Murder Site in Ukraine,” ''Socialism and Democracy'' 27. no. 2 (2013): 96-126.</ref> The evidence even includes German casings and ammunition found in the area and in the bodies of the massacred prisoners. In addition, the so-called “Packet no.1,” which contains the documents related to the Stalin and Beria’s “orders” to execute Polish prisoners of war, is fake. Viktor Ilyukhin, a Deputy of the State Duma of the Russian Federation, conducted a forensic analysis of Packet no.1 in 2010. The conclusion of the investigation was that the “Central Committee” stamp on Packet no.1 was a forgery, thereby invalidating the official validity of the documents. | Grover Furr has compiled and summarized new evidence from primary sources and secondary literature which effectively refute the primary arguments in favour of the revisionist theory of the massacre.<ref>Grover Furr, “The ‘Official’ Version of the Katyn Massacre Disproven?
