Vladimir Borisov

Vladimir Borisovich Borisov (; 15 July 1902 – 30 June 1941) was a Red Army major general.

A veteran of the Russian Civil War, Borisov served in command positions at military schools during the 1920s and in the late 1930s rose to division command after holding staff positions. Decorated for his command of the 37th Rifle Division during the Winter War, Borisov became commander of the 21st Rifle Corps in Belarus just before the outbreak of Operation Barbarossa. He was killed during the Battle of Białystok–Minsk in late June 1941 while leading his corps in a breakout attempt. Provided by Wikipedia
