Vladimir Alexeyev

Lt Gen Vladimir Alexeyev is the deputy head of the main directorate of Russia's GRU military intelligence. He is currently newsworthy because he was shot multiple times in Moscow on Friday and hospitalized. The attack occurred in a residential apartment building in the north-western outskirts of the city. According to Russian media reports, Alexeyev regained consciousness after undergoing surgery.
