Your r/k theory is consistent with my view of what really happened to General Amdrei Vlasov. Stalin reportedly executed Vlasov. However, Vlasov’s philosophy, like Stalin’s, was regal. He wanted a greater Russia.
IMO General Vlasov worked deep cover for Stalin. He was Stalin's agent in China in 1930's. Then in WW2 he organized Russian anti-Communist POW’s in German camps into his Russian National Liberation Army (ROA) clearly exposing them & their identities to Stalin. So IMO after the War, although officially executed by Stalin, Vlasov lived the rest of his life secretly in Soviet Union.Semyon Bandera, Ukrainian nationalist leader, in contrast, was kalyptic—and thus could not be persuaded to make a deal with Soviets. KGB assassinated him in Germany after WW2. |
