American Committee for the Liberation of the Peoples of Russia
- American Committee for the Liberation of the Peoples of Russia
The American Committee for the Liberation of the Peoples of Russia was an American anti-communist organization founded in the late 1940s which worked for the liberation of Russia from Socialism. Modelled after the Radio Free Europe, run by the National Committee for a Free Europe, they founded in 1953 the anti-communist broadcaster Radio Liberation, later known as Radio Liberty. It was based in Lampertheim in Hesse, Germany, and sent propaganda programmes in Russian language to Russia. The broadcaster received funding from the American Congress. Soviet authorities attempted to jam their broadcasts. In 1973-1976, Radio Liberty was merged with Radio Free Europe, based in the English Garden in Munich. In 1995 the station Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty (RFE/RL) moved to Wenceslas Square in Prague.
