Andrei Vlasov

General Andrei Andreyevich Vlasov (1900 —1946) was a Soviet Red Army general who was captured by German forces early in World War II, and who defected and collaborated the Nazis until he surrendered to the American in 1945. He was kidnapped back by the Soviets two days later, who tried and executed Vlasov in 1946.

Andrei Vlasov's fate was on the minds of most of the Soviet official in occupied Germany after World War II. Vladimir Bokov believed that Vlasov's trial and pending execution warned off other Soviets who might seek to collaborate with the Germans.
