Hryhoriy Mykytovych Vasiura (Ukrainian: Григорій Микитович Васюра, Russian: Григорий Никитич Васюра; 15 February 1915 – 2 October 1987) was a Soviet senior lieutenant in the Red Army who was captured during the Nazi invasion of the USSR in 1941 and subsequently volunteered for service in the Schutzmannschaft (the Nazi collaborationist auxiliary police) and the Waffen-SS. Vasiura's wartime activities were not fully revealed until the mid-1980s, when he was convicted as a war criminal by a Soviet military court and executed in 1987 for his role in the Khatyn massacre.[1]
