Colonel-General Nikolai Berzarin was the first Soviet commandant of Berlin.

Mr. Barzarin, one of the youngest Generals of the Soviet Army, served as a commandant of the defeated Berlin from April 28th to June 16th, 1945. ( died in a car crash, sniped? I didnīt find the "true story" ).

Berzarin, Colonel-General Nikolai E. (1904-1945):
38 : General Officer Commanding 38th Rifle Division
41 : General Officer Commanding 27th Army
41-42: General Officer Commanding 34th Army
42 : Deputy General Officer Commanding 61st Army
43 : General Officer Commanding 20th Army
43-44: General Officer Commanding 39th Army
44-45: General Officer Commanding 5th Shock Army
45 : Commandant Berlin


First Soviet Commandant of Berlin Put on the "Honorary Citizens" List Again - Pravda.Ru
On June 16, 1945 he died in a motorcycle accident in a truck convoy in Berlin. Full story is unknown to me too.
