   Klava Nazarova was hanged in 1942 and is one of the 3 women who were   
   later made Heroes of Soviet Union. The other two were Zoya (above) and   
   Maria Kislyak (see below).   
      
   Klava was born in 1918 and was 24 when she died. She was said to be   
   quite an attractive girl. Klava was a Komsomol member and when the   
   Germans occupied her town of Ostrov in Russia in 1941, she and her   
   friends organised an underground resistance squad. On November the 7th   
   1942, Klava and another girl, Nura Ivanova with two young men, Nikolai   
   Mikhailov and Konstantin Dmitriev, and the parents of another   
   organisation member, husband and wife Nadezhda and Ivan Kozlovskiy, were   
   all arrested. After torture, they were each sentenced to death.   
      
   The Nazis made a big show of the hangings to intimidate the town's   
   people. On December the 12th 1942, a wooden gallows was erected in the   
   town square of Ostrov and the townsfolk were forced to watch the   
   proceedings. The executions were divided into 3 parts.   
      
   Klava and Nura were first to suffer. The girls were led out and the   
   soldiers hoisted Klava onto a stool beneath the beam. She was wearing a   
   light grey coat without a hat or scarf and her hands were tied behind   
   her back. The executioner put the noose around her neck and one of the   
   officers took pictures of her. a moment before the stool was removed   
   from under her feet, Klava, screamed to the crowd: - Farewell! We'll   
   win! We... The next moment she was hanging. Nura was then hanged beside her.   
      
    From Ostrov a procession of soldiers went to the next village, Nogino.   
   The executioners stopped at a barn in Nogino and put up two nooses on a   
   crossbeam. Here they hanged Ivan and Nadezhda Kozlovskiy. Nadezhda was   
   said to have been almost unconscious before she hanged.   
      
   The final pair of this series of executions took place in the village of   
   Ryadobzha where Nikolai Mikhailov and Konstantin Dmitriev were hanged   
   together.
