| Summary: | Film introduces the story of general Vlasov, one of the great Soviet military leaders, who fought on the Moscow front, received the highest Soviet military awards and was made “Hero of the Soviet Union”. After being taken prisoner, he created a "Russian Liberation Army" (ROA) of hundreds of thousands of Soviet prisoners who fought on the Nazi side. After the end of the World War II all of those who remained in the Soviet Union were arrested and sent to concentration camps, while the memory of the ROA was completely suppressed. The film puts together fragments of personal memories and remaining documents, trying to reconstruct the scope of the phenomenon and the destinies of the participants. |
