Vladimir Kojève, or Khodzhev (born 1952) – was a Russian major-general who acted as a military advisor to the government of Syria. [1] He was allegedly killed in the Syrian civil war. In October 2012, after his death, personal documents were published by Al Arabiya which suggested he was working as part of a contract under which the Russian government provided security assistance to the Assad regime; documents suggested he had access to all security facilities in Syria. [2]
However, Now Lebanon cast doubt on the authenticity of Al Arabiya's story. [3] Kuzheyev had earlier appeared on television, in August 2012, to deny reports of his death. [4]
