Andrey Vlasov was born on 14 September 1901, in the village of Lomakino, located in the Nizhny Novgorod region, then part of the Russian Empire. He was the thirteenth child and the youngest son, and his family lived in extreme poverty. After studying at a Russian Orthodox seminary, which he abandoned in 1917 after the October Revolution, he briefly studied agronomy. Vlasov joined the Red Army in 1919 and then fought in the Russian Civil War.
In 1930, he joined the Communist Party and five years later, in 1935, Vlasov became a student at the Frunze Military Academy, which was one of the Soviet Union’s most prestigious military schools.

The Second World War started on 1 September 1939 when Germany invaded Poland.

Warsaw officially surrendered to the Germans on 28 September and one day later in accordance with the secret protocol to their non-aggression pact, Germany, and the Soviet Union partitioned Poland.
