Russian Liberation Army?

It says now in the article that some Soviet POWs taken during the Winter War of 1939-40 joined the Russian Liberation Army. The link takes you to the article page about the German-controlled army of 1944-45, so obviously something's amiss here. 194.100.12.188 (talk) 07:35, 4 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

You are correct. Finns had some sort of group of Russians in arms under propaganda name "Russian liberation army", but it was not very concrete. Peltimikko (talk) 08:59, 4 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Not a chess player

The link for Major General V. Kirpichnikov links to a Latvian chess master who is not the same person. I'll just remove the link, but perhaps someone who knows Wikipedia practices should put a proper link in its place. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 85.77.155.158 (talk) 09:21, 26 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]
