Pavel Zacek, Prague to have memorial to ROA on 75th anniversary of WW2 end

A memorial to the Russian Liberation Army (ROA) members who died when they helped liberate Prague from the Nazis in May 1945 will be built in the city's outskirts of Reporyje on the 75th anniversary of the end of World War Two, the Reporyje assembly decided on December 10, 2019, in Prague, Czech Republic. Prague-Reporyje Mayor Pavel Novotny (opposition Civic Democrats, ODS) said Reporyje should a have a site commemorating some 300 fallen ROA soldiers. Historian Pavel Zacek, right, (ODS) said the decision that one of the ROA units would help the Czechs fight against the Nazi Germans was made in Reporyje. 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/Michal Kamaryt)
