Zoya Kosmodemjanskaja & Vera Voloshina
Zoya Kosmodemjanskaja was a Russian partisan. She was born in on the 14th of September 1923 & belonged to Division 9903 of the NKVD which ran some 400 agents.
On the night of November 227th 1941, Zoya together with two comrades, set fire to a building in the village of Petrischtschewo near Moscow. German soldiers quickly caught one of them Wassilij Klubkow.
Under interrogation he betrayed Zoya. She was arrested & tortured before being sentenced to hang. Wearing a simple top & a peasant skirt the short haired 18 year old Zoya was executed on November 29th 1941. Round her neck was hung a sign describing the reason for her execution.
Just before she was pushed off the platform they had placed under the simple gallows she told the soldiers “You can’t hang all 190 million of us”. She was then hanged.
Her body convulsed, legs kicking under the peasant skirt with her face displaying all of the signs of death by slow strangulation. After 10 minutes of struggle she finally hung dead
In the same partisan squad as Zoya was another young woman Vera Voloshina. She was described as a pretty 23 year old blonde. Several days after Zoya’s execution Vera was arrested.
After torture Vera was also publicly hanged, in the same manner as Zoya. Unlike Zoya however Vera didn’t go to her death with words of defiance on her lips. She struggled & pleaded for her life as the noose was placed round her neck. It of course didn’t do her any good & she too was executed by “Short drop” slow hanging
