Committee for the Liberation of the Peoples of Russia
Nazi collaborationist Red Army defector group / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Committee for the Liberation of the Peoples of Russia (Russian: Комитет Освобождения Народов России, Komitet Osvobozhdeniya Narodov Rossii, abbreviated as Russian: КОНР, KONR) was a committee composed of military and civilian Nazi collaborators from territories of the Soviet Union (most being Russians). It was founded by Nazi Germany on 14 November 1944, in Prague, Protectorate of Bohemia and Moravia (purposely chosen because it was a Slavic city that was still under Axis control).
