The NTS was regarded as suspect by British Intelligence (SIS or MI-6), partly because of the role played by the Soviet General Andrei Vlasov, an NTS man, captured by the Nazis in 1942, who later commanded units of former Russian prisoners of war. Handed over to Stalin by the Americans, he was executed. However, Vlasov was anti-Soviet, not pro-Nazi. There was a further element when anti-Soviet operations involving the British traitor Harold Philby went wrong. The SIS blamed the NTS, and the NTS blamed Philby. In a speech on the fiftieth anniversary of the Soviet secret police on December 22, 1967, Yuri Andropov named the NTS as "enemy number one." -- BC
