Yuri Vlasov

Yuri Vlasov was a Soviet Red Army officer stationed in Germany after the German Freedom Front successfully killed several Soviet officers on New Years' Eve, 1945.

Vlasov shared his last name with notorious traitor Andre Vlasov, the Soviet general who defected to the Nazis during World War II. The two men were not related, although this counted for little given the blanet of suspicion the Soviets lived under. Consequently, Yuri Vlasov did his best to prove himself a loyal citizen of the Soviet Union, sometimes to the detriment of his subordinates.
