A gold medal in the International Mathematical Olympiad, 4 silver medals in the International Biology Olympiad and 3 silver medals in the International Geography Olympiad and the International Chemistry Olympiad – these are the most important achievements of Polish students in the International Science Olympiads in 2019.

On 10 April 2010, a special TU-154M plane with the President of Poland Lech Kaczyński and the First Lady Maria Kaczyńska on board took off from Warsaw to Smolensk. On that very day the members of the official delegation were to participate in the ceremonies taking place in the Katyn War Cemetery, commemorating the 70th anniversary of the crime committed there. The aircraft carried 96 people, including members of the highest state authorities, representatives of various social circles and religious denominations, high-ranking military commanders and the plane’s crew. All the flight passengers died in the air disaster which took place during landing at the airport near Smolensk.
