Early Red Army General losses in Barbarossa:

" By July 1 two top military commanders who had been present at the May 24 meeting in his Kremlin study had shot themselves, Commissar Vashugin and Commander of the Western Front Air Corps Kopets. A number of generals had died on the battle field, including Major General Semen Kondrusev, commander of the Twenty-second Corps, who was killed on June 24 on the southwestern front, and Major General Vladimir Borisov, commander of the Twenty-first Corps, who had been killed on the western front, leaving no grave nor even an exact date of death. The same was true of Major General Fedor Budanov, Major General Alexander Garnov, Major general Vassily Evdokimov, and major General Alexander Zhurba.

Another list was much more worrisome to Stalin, who was still vacillating between purge and lenience. Quite a few Red Army generals were now reported missing in action, and he couldn´t be sure whether they had actually surrendered to the Germans. Among the suspected traitors were his emissary at the Western front,Marshal Kulik, and Pavlov´s deputy, General Boldin, both of whom had disappeared with the Tenth Army at Belostok.
