Pavel Novotny, Prague district insisting on Russian Liberation Army memorial

The Prague-Reporyje district town hall does not intend to discuss its plan to instal a memorial to the Russian Liberation Army (ROA) with Russia, Reporyje Mayor Pavel Novotny (Civic Democratic Party, ODS) told journalists on Wednesday, November 27, 2019, in Prague, Czech Republic. On Monday, the Embassy of Russia protested against the plan, arguing that the memorial would be a violation of the Czech Republic's commitments within the Convention on the Non-Applicability of Statutory Limitations to War Crimes and Crimes Against Humanity from 1968. On the photo Novotny comes to hand over his letter to the Russian Embassy in Prague, November 27. In his letter sent to Russian President Vladimir Putin, Novotny said Reporyje was a sovereign urban district, which decided on the installation of memorials in its own right, after a public discussion.

    Prague Uprising Memorial and plaque commemorating soldiers of the Russian Liberation Army (ROA) in Prague, Reporyje

    The plaque commemorating soldiers of the anti-Soviet Russian Liberation Army (ROA), who was killed at the end of WWII while assisting in the liberation of Prague in 1945, Prague Reporyje, Czech Republic, on Thursday, May 7, 2020. Prague-Reporyje Mayor Pavel Novotny said the Reporyje district hall received a three metre high pole with small plastic art of a German helmet lying on a Soviet tank (photo) at its top from a significant but unknown author. A short text on the memorial remembers the 1945 Prague uprising and some 300 ROA members who died during it. Apart from it, there is the quote from the book The Gulag Archipelago by Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn Did all Czechs understand which Russians saved their city? Members of the ROA were Soviet citizens who, after being taken prisoners by the Nazis, joined the ROA, which fought alongside Nazi Germany close to the end of the war. In May 1945, however, the ROA helped liberate Prague. It was headed by former Red Army general Andrei Vlasov who was executed by the Soviet regime after WW2. The ROA is known as the Vlasov Army in the Czech environment. (CTK Photo/Libor Sojka)
