Zoe Kosmodemyanskaya. Forever 18-year-old

95 years ago - 13 September 1923 year - in the town of Osino Guy, that in Tambov, Zoe was born. Zoe Kosmodemyanskaya. This symbol of steadfastness and resistance, courage and self-sacrifice. Zoya Kosmodemyanskaya - the first woman, awarded the title of Hero of the Soviet Union posthumously.

Being abandoned as part of a sabotage group behind enemy lines, 18-summer Zoya Kosmodemyanskaya participated in the operation to destroy the property of the Nazis. So, she set fire to one of the houses, in which at that time the invaders spent the night. In the same house was a German communications center.

Liberal propaganda claims, that two other houses in the village of Petrishchevo, owned by locals and set ablaze with Zoe, not used by the Nazis. However, the testimony of the locals themselves suggests that, that the Germans constantly stayed in the houses, moving on roads near the village.

Captured Zoe proved to be a real hero. Her speech, cited by eyewitnesses of the dramatic events of the last November days of 1941, made a lasting impression on the inhabitants of the occupied territories. Zoya, gone through torture and faced the gallows, urged compatriots to fight the Nazis.

From the evidence - Zoe’s speech:
How many of us hang, do not outweigh everyone, us 170 millions. But for me our comrades will avenge you!

Nazi executioners did not remove the body of Zoe from the gallows for about a month. In January 1942 of the year, after numerous abuse, burial order was given. Local residents dug a grave for Zoya Kosmodemyanskaya outside the village of Petrishchevo.

Subsequently, Zoya was reburied - her remains rest in Moscow at the Novodevichy cemetery. Her monuments and streets, named after her, – all around Russia.
