A review essay on books by: Catherine Andreyev, Vlasov and the Russian Liberation Movement: Soviet Reality and Emigre Theories (Cambridge: Cambridge U Press, 1987); Sergej Froehlich, General Wlassow: Russen und Deutsche zwischen Hitler und Stalin ([General Vlasov: Russians and Germans between Hitler and Stalin], von Freier, E. [Ed], Koeln: Markus Verlag, 1987); & Joachim Hoffmann, Die Geschichte der Wlassow-Armes ([The History of the Vlasov Army] Freiburg: Verlag Rombach, 1986 [see listings in IRPS No. 60]. A review article challenges the popular notion that Andrey Vlasov (leader of the Russian Liberation Movement, 1942-1945) was a traitor & Nazi collaborator. Rather, Vlasov is viewed as a tragic figure who was caught between the tyranny of Adolph Hitler & Josef Stalin. Andreyev argues unconvincingly that Vlasov became disillusioned with Soviet socialism for two reasons: because the revolution failed to provide land for the peasants & because Stalin continued his purges on the officer corps. Froehlich's personal reminiscences of Vlasov are praised for illuminating his deep aversion to Stalin. Hoffmann devotes much of his book to the repatriation to the USSR of Russians who had collaborated with the Germans. However, his account is criticized for its thinly veiled contempt for US & GB participation in the repatriation efforts. 3 References. W. Howard
