… After Nazis Killed Her Husband. "They say that "hell hath no fury like a woman scorned." But if you take her love away, it gets a helluva lot worse – something the Germans would find out the hard way. Mariya Vasilyevna was born on August 16, 1905, in Crimea as one of ten children. Coming from a family of dirt poor peasants, she was a serf – which is a fancy word for slave. As such, they could neither go anywhere nor do anything without their landlord's permission. It was hardly surprising, therefore, that she took to Communism like a fish to water.

Serfdom was abolished in Russia in 1861, by Tsar Alexander II. Either our heroine was older than said in the article, or the author is somewhat mistified about the nature of agrarian social relations on the old Russian Empire. Regretfully, warhistoryonline is full of errors of that kind. I take their articles with the proverbial pinch of salt. |
