This article is poorly written.

The link to the soviet comamnder is wrong, the commander rferred to there was the traitor Vlasov who worked FOR the nazis.

I grant a very controversial issue, but we cannot forget that one mans traitor is another mans freedom fighter. Only one unit fought under the true Russian flag in WW2, that of Vlasov's.

Vlasov really worked for nazis, but not at the and of war. It was this Vlasov.

[edit] Lots of facts missing

The article needs rewrite not just because of style, it omits large parts of the uprising and the whole context. The fights over radio were only minor (but popularized in media and books) part of the uprising. Pavel Vozenilek 22:53, 10 May 2006 (UTC)

Well, write about it?

I don´t think that Vlasov was afraid of betreyal from the Czech side. He knew very well that if he stays, the Soviets come and execute him because of his cooperation with Hitler. He had to make his way through Prague clear so he could run away to the West quickly. It did not help him anyways

[edit] only "almost 1,000" Germans killed?

It starts with "A gruesome fate caught up with thousands of wounded in several hospitals. After these hospitals were stormed by the mob, the bed-ridden wounded were shot in their beds. But even those who were able to walk, and who had gone out that day, were lost. Any soldier found by himself was beaten to death or hung. Thousands of wounded who had been rounded up from various hospitals were gathered together at the Scharnhorst barracks, and mowed down by submachine gun fire." and continues in this matter.

Obviously extremally POV site, so it should be double-checked. --HanzoHattori 14:06, 21 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Vlasov executed by Stalin

Was it Stalin who physically put the rope around Vlasov's neck and hanged him? We don't claim Roosevelt executed Eddie Slovik, do we? So what's up with the double standarts? I can agree with saying "Stalin killed..." when it deals with some of the repressed in USSR that were innocent. But Vlasov was a traitor... I will alter this part shortly.

Well you see, unlike Roosevelt, who dosn't order Armed men to find and "try" criminals, Stalin personally would interfere with court decisions by having them installed with members completely loyal to him. No doubt that they would have been briefed to simply try and convict the man to death. However, the President of the USA does not just do what he wants with the court in the same way that Stalin does what he wanted to. And believe me, he did what ever he wanted to do damn it.Tourskin 06:22, 2 May 2007 (UTC)

Ok, so do you have any non-speculative evidence that prooves that Stalin's personal interference was the reason why Vlasov was hanged? With respect, Ko Soi IX 21:01, 3 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] 1,694 Czechs were killed

Czech Wikipedia gives "more than 1500".Xx236 07:51, 29 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:RussianLiberationMovement.gif

Image:RussianLiberationMovement.gif is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.
