Интерпретация событий тех лет при- обрела остроту и вызвала оживлённые дискуссии в связи со сносом памятника маршалу И.В. Коневу 3 апреля 2020 г. по распоряжению местного муниципалитета. В Чехии также обсуждают идею «увековечивания» роли «других освободителей» столицы – воинов дивизии РОА, которая в течение двух суток (6-7 мая) оказывала помощь восставшим. Привлекая новые документы из Центрального архива Министерства обороны Российской Федерации, автор делает вывод об ограниченном влиянии власовцев. Они, действительно, внесли сумятицу в ряды немцев, но рано утром 8 мая сами быстрым маршем ушли из Праги. После этого бои и переговоры между повстанцами и германским командованием продолжались. В статье подчёркивается, что главной целью советской военной операции с 6 по 11 мая 1945 г. был разгром немецкой группы армий «Центр». Освобождение Праги явилось лишь частью мощного наступления трёх советских фронтов. Тяжёлых и изнурительных боев за Прагу не случилось, но вхождение советских танков в чешскую столицу и последующее ликование местных жителей стали символом окончания войны в Европе. В заключении делается вывод, что снос памятников советским воинам и полководцам является проявлением внутриполитической борьбы в тех странах, где это происходит, а Чехия представляет собой лишь один из таких примеров.</p></abstract><trans-abstract xml:lang="en"><p>The article deals with complex and controversial issues related to the uprising and liberation of Prague in May 1945. Interpretation of the events became acute and caused lively discussions in connection with the demolition of the monument to Marshal I. V. Konev on April 3, 2020 by the order of the local municipality. The Czech Republic is also discussing the idea of «perpetuating the role of other liberators» of the capital – soldiers of the ROA division, which for two days (May 6-7) provided assistance to the rebels. Using new documents from the Central archive of the Ministry of defense of the Russian Federation, the author draws a conclusion about the limited influence of the Vlasov units. They, indeed, brought confusion to the German ranks, but early in the morning of May 8, they themselves left Prague on a rapid march. After that, fighting and negotiations between the rebels and the German command continued. The article emphasizes that the main goal of the Soviet military operation from 6 to 11 May 1945 was the defeat of the German Army Group Center. The liberation of Prague was only part of a powerful offensive by three Soviet fronts. Heavy battles for Prague did not happen, but the entry of Soviet tanks into the Czech capital and the subsequent jubilation of local residents became a symbol of the end of the war in Europe. The author concludes that the demolition of monuments to Soviet soldiers and commanders is a manifestation of internal political struggle in the countries where it occurs, and the Czech Republic is only one of these examples.</p></trans-abstract><kwd-group xml:lang="ru"><kwd>Вторая мировая война</kwd><kwd>Великая Отечественная война</kwd><kwd>освобождение Европы</kwd><kwd>Прага</kwd><kwd>Пражское восстание</kwd><kwd>1945</kwd><kwd>коллаборационизм</kwd><kwd>власовцы</kwd><kwd>И.С.
