Interesting. What would V-lad have been doing at that time, and would Krasnov have been put in his orbit?

On the basis of the timeline in the claim, when Krasnov was recruited, V-lad was a senior officer in Dresden. He might have acted with the Wolf to target business persons in the then West Germany, but my guess is that he was more concerned with keeping an eye on things in the GDR. So he would have been unlikely to have known of Krasnov at that time - not his desk. But later on, when he became FSB chief, he will been aware of him.

“Vlad” is short for “Vladislav”.

I took it as meaning V the lad, as in V the man. But that might be too British an interpretation. I remember my father telling me of a work trip he and his boss did to the north of England, visiting various customers. As they drove out of Lancashire, Denis, his boss, saw the sign "West Yorkshire" by the side of the road. Decades later he still remembered how Denis had beamed and said under his breath, "Ee, Denis lad, tha's home." Hence my seeing "V-lad" in much the same way.

Yes, that is how I meant it.
But primarily I noticed that this topic was not in the 'sandbox' so was unsure whether using proper names was an issue.
Maybe it could be moved to the Grove ?
