- Machine translation, like DeepL or Google Translate, is a useful starting point for translations, but translators must revise errors as necessary and confirm that the translation is accurate, rather than simply copy-pasting machine-translated text into the English Wikipedia.
- Consider adding a topic to this template: there are already 265 articles in the main category, and specifying

will aid in categorization. - Do not translate text that appears unreliable or low-quality. If possible, verify the text with references provided in the foreign-language article.
- You must provide copyright attribution in the edit summary accompanying your translation by providing an interlanguage link to the source of your translation. A model attribution edit summary is

The Belarusian Katyn List (Białoruska Lista Katyńska) is the (hypothetical) list of Polish citizens murdered by the NKVD in Belarus on the basis of the decision of the Politburo of the All-Union Communist Party (Bolsheviks) and the USSR state authorities of 5 March 1940, the victims of the Katyn massacre. [1]
Indirectly it was established how many persons must be on the list. A 1969 note of the chief of KGB Aleksandr Shelepin to Nikita Khrushchev says that 7,305 Polish citizens were killed in Ukraine and Belarus. Since the number from the Ukrainian 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]
