The activity of the same Vlasov has not been reported, both during his service to the Germans and, especially, the mystery was covered by his service in the red Army. If that was written about his past is that he was stupid, petty, passive, nor what can not. Could even be a question, how did he even get to top management positions. But in the Soviet Union the wrong questions did not arise by definition.
as created by Vlasov of the Russian Liberation Army (ROA)*, that it actually consisted of two infantry divisions (1st and 2nd). 1st infantry division was formed on 23 November, the 43rd year, was a well-manned and armed compound. And volunteers from the concentration camps in the division was very small, was based on the remains of the 29-th and 30-th SS divisions and other small parts, which separately below.
In the Wehrmacht it was called the 600th infantry division, and was used in that capacity. About any “liberation of Russia” it was not, for the simple reason that the German government is the protection of their own country much more worried.

Even the SS decided that you can’t do it. Later the remnants of the division RON joined the ROA.
they were Formed and the 2-nd Russian division, it is also the 30th Waffen-SS Grenadier. An entire division of it was unable to turn, the personnel fled and rebelled. In the end, the part they sent someone in ROA to Vlasov, a part remained in the new 30th division of the SS, which became in March 45-go of the 1st Belarusian. The basis of division was the Belarusian SS brigade, formed in January ‘ 45 of the Belarusian policemen, who left with the Germans.
