this brave lady[18 years old;a member of the moscow komosol and 
partisan] was unfortunately caught and executed.she was caught setting light 
to german stables in the village of petrischevo; although she was tortured 
the germans didn't extract any information from her.tragically because of 
this the gallant lady was hanged on 29th november 1941.

                  the sign the germans put around her neck during execution 
said........"she set fire to houses".just before her execution ; being 
typically defiant.she turned to a german and said..............."YOU CAN'T 
HANG ALL 190 MILLION OF US".


                 lidin,a war reporter for pravda discovered the story of 
zoia.he saw her frozen,tortured body with the rope around her neck 2 weeks 
later.his story made her a national heroine and a symbol of partisan 
restistance.


                                   BRAVE ZOIA
