President Lech Kaczynski and scores of other senior Polish figures have been killed in a plane crash in Russia.
President Lech Kaczynski and his wife Maria were killed, along with a number of other senior Polish political, military and cultural figures, when their plane crashed as it prepared to land in western Russia on Saturday 10 April 2010. Here are brief profiles of the president and other key figures.
We stand in the face of an incredible tragedy, one of the biggest tragic events of our nation's history. It is definitely the most tragic event in the post-war history of Poland.
Amongst the dead are many people than we knew personally, many friends. But it is their families who today suffer the most. On behalf of all Polish people I would like to express to them our condolences and sorrow. Specifically to the family of president Lech Kaczynski - his daughter, mother, brother and granddaughter.
