Nikolai Vasiliev

Nikolai Vasiliev was a Soviet brigadier general during World War II. His unit was overrun by German forces near Pskov early in the war, and, along with Aleksandr German, he commanded guerrilla operations against German forces in the region. After the Race's Conquest Fleet landed, German and Vasiliev began cooperating with German commander Kurt Chill in holding the Race out of the area. German and Vasiliev, recognizing that Chill was senior to them and had more experience commanding such actions, submitted to his command, though both had a tumultuous relationship with Chill. After the Race's threat had abated, German and Vasiliev's forces began fighting Chill's.
