   Zoya Kosmodemjanskaja was another Russian partisan. She was born on the   
   14th of September 1923 and belonged to the Diversionsabteilung no. 9903   
   of the Soviet secret police (NKVD), which ran some 400 agents.   
      
   On the night of the 27th of November 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 and tortured   
   before being sentenced to hang. Eighteen year old Zoya was executed near   
   Moscow, on the 29th of November 1941. Round her neck was hung a sign   
   describing the reason for her execution. Just before she was pushed off   
   the stack of boxes they had placed under the simple gallows, she told   
   the soldiers, "You can’t hang all 190 million of us."   
      
   Her partly clothed body was left to rot in the snow.

   Zoya was posthumously decorated a Hero of the Soviet Union as was her   
   brother, Shura, for his service in the Red Army tank corps.  Vera   
   Voloshina served in the same partisan group as Zoya  and was described   
   as a pretty 23 year old blonde. She had been wounded in the shoulder   
   during a gun fight with German soldiers and captured. After torture,   
   Vera Voloshina was also publicly hanged, later the same day.
