1906

Vladimir Vladimirovich Gil (Russian: Владимир Владимирович Гиль; born 11 June 1906, Vileyka – died 14 May 1944, Nakol, Belarus), also known by the pseudonyms I.G. Rodionov or Radionov (German: Radjanoff), was a colonel of the Red Army and the founder and leader of the German-backed Union of Russian Nationalists and the 1st Russian Waffen-SS.

Gil and his unit later went over to the Soviet partisans, and he died in combat with the Wehrmacht.

According to his file in the Central Archives of the Russian Ministry of Defence (TsAMO), Vladimir Gil was born 11 June 1906 in the town of Vileyka, in the Vilna Governorate of the Russian Empire.

Gil's German prisoner of war documentation places his birth on the same date but a year earlier and in Chaadaevka, a settlement in Penza Oblast, Russia.

During World War I, Gil's family moved to Babruysk and then to Daraganovo, Belarus, near Mogilev.

He joined the Komsomol in 1921 and graduated from nine classes at the Daragan-Slutskaya rail station, where he would work.

1926

Gil joined the Red Army in 1926 and enrolled as a cadet on 15 October 1926 at the Borisoglebsko-Leningrad cavalry school.

1929

He was appointed a platoon commander in the 32nd Beloglinsky cavalry regiment on 1 September 1929 by order of the Revolutionary Military Council.

1931

He joined the Communist Party in 1931 with the ID number 0268567.

1937

On 19 September 1937, Gil was ordered to the Mikhail Frunze Military Academy, from which he graduated with honors in 1940.

1940

In 1938, the Ministry of Defense promoted Gil to captain, major the next year, and then finally lieutenant colonel on 28 February 1940.

On 19 May 1940, Gil was appointed the head of fifth headquarters unit of the 12th Cavalry Division (Soviet Union) and then as head of the 8th Mechanized Brigade on 28 November.

1941

On 5 March 1941, he was named chief of the 12th Mechanized Corps's operations department.

Gil was again reassigned on 22 March 1941, this time as chief of staff for the 229th Rifle Division, under the 69th Rifle Corps in the 20th Army.

The 229th Rifle Division, at the time assigned to the Stavka reserve, was stationed on the Dnieper River in June 1941.

It was surrounded near Talachyn, and Gil was captured 16 July 1941 near Bogushevsk and sent to Oflag 68.

Gil later alleged that he had been wounded when he was captured, but his German documentation states that he was healthy when he was captured.

He became the commandant of the Russian prisoners at the camp, where inmates lived in very poor conditions and suffered a typhus outbreak.

In autumn 1941, Gil initiated the creation of the anti-Bolshevik "Russian National People's Party", to be supervised by SS-Sturmbannführer Hans Shindowski, head of the local Sicherheitsdienst (SD) office.

Its members were 25 former Red Army officers who had previously been selected by the SD for sabotage operations.

1942

By April 1942, only 2,000 of the original 60,000 inmates at the camp remained.

A group from the party were sent to a training camp near Breslau and a month-long study inside Germany at the beginning of 1942.

On 20 April 1942, the party reformed as the Union of Russian Nationalists (BSRN), still under Gil's leadership.

On 1 May 1942, 100 Russian prisoners of war (90 officers and 10 enlisted men) joined the BSRN.

They were released from prison and dressed in Czech uniforms.

Former Red Army officers were reduced in rank to basic infantry platoon members.

Accompanied by SD officers, they were moved to Parczew and Lublin for training.

After three weeks, the unit received the name "Druzhina" and was assigned to hunting Jews and Polish GL partisans in the same area.

By the end of summer 1942, the Druzhina had become a brigade-strength unit.

Gil at this time took the pseudonym Radionov, the surname of his mother's mother.

Late in August 1942 the Druzhina Brigade was sent to Smolensk to guard a former city prison.

The next month, they arrived at Bykhaw, near Mogilev, and participated in anti-partisan activities throughout the area.

150 German and Byelorussian policemen were assigned to the unit while it was in Mogilev.

Erich von dem Bach-Zelewski praised the unit's actions in Mogilev his diaries.

The effectiveness of the Druzhina Brigade has been questioned by historians since the war.

1943

In the summer of 1943, the Druzhina Brigade redeployed to Dokshytsy to fight the Zheleznyak guerrillas, led by Ivan Filippovich Titkov.

In early July, Titkov opened dialogue with Gil and then convinced him to defect back to the Soviet Union.

After a week of correspondence, Gil secured guarantees from Titkov and then approached his brigade commanders about defecting.

The Druzhina Brigade defected on 16 August 1943 by Gil's order and popular sentiment within the unit.

He placed its German staff and White Russian members under arrest.
