General Andrey Vlasov, one of World War II’s most controversial figures, is widely remembered as a traitor in Soviet history. Initially celebrated as a dedicated Soviet general, he later defected to Nazi Germany and subsequently led the Russian Liberation Army, actions that have led many to label him a “double traitor.” While some argue that his defection was born of disillusionment with a regime he perceived as corrupt and ineffective, others unequivocally condemn his actions as the ultimate betrayal of his homeland. Consequently, Vlasov’s legacy remains steeped in complexity and debate, with historians and political commentators continuously reassessing his motives and the impact of his choices. Ultimately, his story serves as a stark example of how wartime allegiances can fracture, giving rise to figures whose actions challenge conventional narratives of loyalty and patriotism.
