STORYLINE:
The coffin carrying the body of Polish President Lech Kaczynski was flown from the Russian city of Smolensk to Warsaw on Sunday.
The plane took off from the same airport where the president and 95 others had been attempting to land at on Saturday but crashed in thick fog during the descent.
Among the dead were Poland''s army chief of staff, the navy chief commander, and heads of the air and land forces.
Kaczynski''s twin brother Jaroslaw flew to Smolensk on Saturday evening and identified the bodies.
Russia''s president Vladimir Putin stood solemnly next to the coffin in a short ceremony before the coffin was placed in a military plane.
Kaczynski''s coffin will be taken to the presidential palace after it arrives in Warsaw, the Polish government said. No date for a funeral has been set.
The party was headed to Smolensk to honour 22,000 Polish officers slain by the Soviet secret police in 1940 in the western Soviet Union.
The death of the president and much of the state and defence establishment in Russia, en route to commemorating one of the saddest events in the neighbouring nations'' long, complicated history, was laden with tragic overtones.
Polish-Russian relations had been improving recently after being poisoned for decades over the slaying of some 22,000 officers and others in Katyn forest and in other areas.
About 4,000 Polish army officers were killed in the forest by Josef Stalin''s NKVD, the forerunner to the KGB, in 1940.
Russia never has formally apologised for the murders but Russian Prime Minister Vladimir Putin''s decision to attend a memorial ceremony earlier this week in the forest was seen as a gesture of goodwill toward reconciliation.
Kaczynski wasn''t invited to that event because Putin, as prime minister, had invited his Polish counterpart, Donald Tusk.
Kaczynski, 60, was the first serving Polish leader to die since exiled World War II-era leader General Wladyslaw Sikorski in a mysterious plane crash off Gibraltar in 1943.
President Dmitry Medvedev declared Monday a day of mourning in Russia.

Russian Tupolev plane crash kills 44
44 people have been killed in a plane crash in Russia. The aircraft attempted to land in heavy fog, and it is believed the wing clipped runway lights on landing, causing a blackout.

Rescue workers rushed to the burning wreckage, trying to save some of the 52 people onboard, including nine crew members. Amongst the survivors is a 10 year old boy who is one of the seven injured described as in a 'grave condition'.

The incorrect actions of the crew in conditions in banking the aircraft beyond the view of landmarks, continuing the approach, as well as the lack of proper reaction and taking the required actions following the repeated activation of the ground proximity warning system,” Kaczynski said.

STORYLINE:
Hungarian and Polish leaders on Friday unveiled a memorial in the Hungarian capital, Budapest, dedicated to the victims of a 2010 plane crash in the Russian city of Smolensk that killed Polish President Lech Kaczynski and dozens of other top Polish officials.
Jaroslaw Kaczynski, leader of Poland's governing Law and Justice party and twin brother of the president who died in the crash, praised the memorial as a beautiful gesture that strengthens our friendship.
The 10 April 2010, crash that killed 96 people, including the president and the first lady, the head of the National Bank of Poland, lawmakers, top military officials and many others, is considered one of Poland's greatest national tragedies.
Kaczynski, whose right-wing leadership is close to the nationalist and populist policies of Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban, urged Hungarians to vote for Orban in Sunday's elections.
You cannot think about Europe's future, the European Union's future, without thinking about Viktor Orban, about Fidesz, he said.
Orban and Kaczynski frequently complain about what they see as meddling by the EU leadership in their national affairs.
A dispute over changes in Poland's court system seen curtailing judicial independence has triggered for the first time an EU sanctioning procedure, Article 7, which could strip Poland of its voting rights within the bloc.
Orban, whose re-election campaign is heavily based on anti-migration policies, said it was up to the two countries to keep Central Europe national and Christian.
With all due modesty, I must say that 27 years ago we said, 'Europe is our future,' Orban told the small crowd at the unveiling. Today, we can say, 'We are Europe's future.'

Tu-154 '101'- Polish Air Force - 36th regiment.flv
April 8th. One of the last flights, 39 hours later the same crew & plane crashed during the Polish presidential flight to Smolensk (Russia).
Aircraft: Tupolev Tu-154
Airline: Polish Air Force
Location: Praha (Prague) - Ruzyne (PRG)
Country: Czech Republic
Date: April 8, 2010
Pilots certainly did not commit an error in Smolensk
Rule out blame pilots in Smolensk tragedy - says a former military pilot Koronczyk Alexander, who from the beginning involved in the crash April 10. It was he - the worker Siewiernyj Smolensk Airport - found the emblem of the presidential plane and handed them to Poland. Exactly one month after the tragedy, he spoke to him in Smolensk correspondent RMF FM Przemyslaw March.
Major Alexander Koronczyk who knows the airport Siewiernyj not believe pilot error Tu-154 M. To speak of pilot error is an insult. I saw him on April 7 approached and landed the aircraft commander of the crew. It was a first-class work. Even now the families must be told, when accusing the pilots, it is simply not true. Those pilots were extremely well-trained. Please find the cause of why this plane where he found himself - he says. Major Koronczik points out that the blame should be sought among the crew of the airport.
The former pilot said that the most important question that still has no answer, is: Why the plane was so low?. Koronczik, who repeatedly watched the presidential Tupolev fragments, said there was little chance of rescue - immediately after damage to the airplane wing had to be seated on the ground.

STORYLINE
Russian President Dmitry Medvedev visited the Polish embassy in Moscow on Monday to pay his respects to those killed in the weekend aircrash.
He placed a bunch of red roses in front of a shrine to President Lech Kazcynski and his wife, Maria, who, along with 94 others, were killed when the presidential plane crashed in thick fog in the Smolensk area of western Russia on Saturday.
After observing a brief moment of silence, Medvedev then sat down to sign the official book of condolences.
Many other dignitaries visited the embassy on Monday to pay their respects, including former Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev.
Russia declared a day of mourning on Monday, in honour of those killed and in sympathy with Poland, which is struggling to come to terms with the tragedy that eliminated so many of their government and military leaders.
Flowers continued to pile up outside the Polish embassy on Monday, and across the city Russian and Moscow flags were being flown at half-mast in memory of those killed.
Russian investigators said on Monday there were no technical problems with the Soviet-made plane, suggesting pilot error may have been to blame.
The dignitaries had been travelling in the Tu-154 government-owned plane to attend a memorial at nearby Katyn forest honouring thousands of Polish military officers who were executed 70 years ago by Soviet leader, Josef Stalin''s secret police.
The pilot had been warned of bad weather in Smolensk, and was advised by traffic controllers to land elsewhere - which would have delayed the Katyn observances.
Russian investigators have almost finished reading the flight recorders, Deputy Prosecutor General Alexander Bastrykin said.
Kaczynski was the first serving Polish leader to die since exiled World War II-era leader General Wladyslaw Sikorski was killed in a mysterious plane crash off Gibraltar in 1943.

Poland: The Smolensk Disaster | European Journal
Poland is mourning its president. Lech Kaczynski and another 96 passengers died in a plane crash on their way to ceremonies in Katyn marking the 70th anniversary of the Soviet-era massacre of thousands of Polish officers.Among the dead is Andrzej Skapski, who recently appeared in a 'European Journal' report. When Andrzej Skapski was 2 years old, his father was arrested by the Soviets. When mass graves were discovered in Katyn in 1943, Andrzej's father was one of the victims to be identified. Skapski had been looking forward to attending this year's memorial ceremony in Katyn.
