About the book: 2015 / Andrei Andreevich Vlasov (1901–1946), Lieutenant General of the Red Army, commander of the 2nd Shock Army of the Volkhov Front, cavalier Order of Lenin and two Orders of the Red Banner. After a victorious counter-offensive in the winter of 1941, the 20th Army under the command of A. Vlasov liberated Solnechnogorsk and Volokolamsk, and the general himself was called the “savior of Moscow.” By order of the Main Political Directorate, a book about Vlasov, “Stalin’s Commander,” is being written. Georgy Zhukov himself gives the general a very positive description. And suddenly... betrayal? An open transition to the side of the enemy?.. In his new fascinating novel, the famous writer Bogdan Sushinsky traces the real path of General Vlasov from the Volkhov swamps, disastrous for his army, to the scaffold, which he ascended by the verdict of the Military Collegium of the Supreme Court on August 1, 1946.
