Abstract
This article constitutes the first part of a study, prepared on the basis of archival materials, concerning the fate of Red Army general officers who were illegally repressed by Stalin and Soviet legal authorities during the Soviet-German War, 1941–1945. The author, than a graduate student at Moscow State University, was given unprecedented access to the records of the Soviet Army's Main Cadre Directorate by the Gorbachev government in order to research hitherto forbidden topics regarding general officers in the Red Army who died, were captured or repressed, or otherwise perished during the war. This study follows two studies already written and published by the same author concerning Red Army generals who perished or were captured in the war.
