Mikhail Alekseyevich Meandrov (Russian: Михаи́л Алексе́евич Меа́ндров) (22 October 1894 – 1 August 1946) was an Imperial Russian and later Soviet officer. Taken prisoner by the Germans in World War II near Leningrad in 1941, he later became an important commander (general) in the Nazi-allied Russian Liberation Army. Taken prisoner by the Soviets, he was executed in 1946.
Meandrov graduated from an officer academy at the time of World War I. During that conflict, he fought on the Southwestern Front. He originally commanded the 37th Rifle Corps, before being reassigned to the command staff of the 6th Army in 1941. He fought around Kiev and later was taken prisoner by German Army forces near Uman.
Meandrov joined Lieutenant General Andrey Vlasov, a Red Army defector, in the Russian Liberation Army (Русская освободительная армия, РОА; in Latin "ROA"), and was promoted to the rank of major general. He fought with the ROA until the end of the war, and was captured by the Red Army. He was found guilty of treason and was executed in Moscow, on 1 August 1946, with eleven other ROA officers, including Vlasov.[2]
