The Russian Liberation Army (Русская освободительная армия, Russkaya osvoboditel'naya armiya)) abbreviated as РОА, also known as the Vlasov army (Власовская армия, Vlasovskaya armiya)) was a collaborationist formation, primarily composed of Russians, that fought under German command during World War II. The army was led by Andrey Vlasov, a Red Army general who had defected, and members of the army are often referred to as Vlasovites (Власовцы)
The soldiers of ROA were mostly former Soviet POWs but also included White Russian émigrés, some of whom were veterans of the anti-communist White Army from the Russian Civil War. On 14 November 1944, it was officially renamed the Armed Forces of the Committee for the Liberation of the Peoples of Russia, with the KONR being formed as a political body to which the army pledged loyalty. On January 28th 1945, it was officially declared that the Russian divisions no longer form part of the Wehrmacht, but would directly be under the command of KONR.
