Vladislav Vikentyevich Korchits (Polish: Władysław Korczyc) (1 September 1893 in Bogdanowicze, now in Slonim District, Belarus – 17 October 1966, Moscow) was a Soviet and Polish general.
He supported the Bolshevik side during the Russian Revolution, joining the Red Army. He participated in the Polish-Soviet War. In the interwar period he graduated from the Mikhail Frunze Military Academy. He was arrested and placed under investigation during 1938-1940, i.e., during the Great Purge, but the accusations were dropped and he was reinstated afterward.[1] He took part in World War II. From 1944 he was attached to the Polish Armed Forces in the East. After the war he remained in the People's Republic of Poland. He served in the Polish People's Army as the chief of Polish General Staff from 1 January 1945 to 18 January 1954. While in Poland, he joined the Polish Workers' Party, was the Deputy Minister of National Defense (1949/1950-?), and the deputy to the Polish parliament (Sejm) for the term 1952-1956. In 1954 he retired and returned to the Soviet Union. He died in Moscow.
