On January 8, 1946 Vlasov and eleven other senior officers, martyrs all, were murdered and thrown into a mass grave on the grounds of Lublyana prison.
Before his murder he told Wilfried Karl Strik-Strikfeldt (a Baltic German who worked closely with Vlasov and the Russian Liberation Army during WWII):
'...one day you will tell the others that Vlasov and his friends loved their country and were not traitors. Promise me.']
