Vladimir Schneiderov (Russian: Владимир Адольфович Шнейдеров; 1900–1973) was a Soviet-era explorer and educational film director. A member of the CPSU since 1926, he was awarded the People's Artist of the RSFSR in 1969.

He was targeted by the KGB for alleged anti-Soviet statements. The alleged documents against him were destroyed by the KGB member who recruited CIA agent Aldrich Ames in the 1980s.[1]

They included KGB reports alleging he had made anticommunist statements. The evidence was obviously false. No real information discredited the eminent director."
