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)
