   Maria Kislyak was born in March 1925, in the village of Lednoe in the   
   Kharkov region of the Ukraine. The village had been occupied by the   
   Germans during 1943. Maria and her school friend, Fedor Rudenko, who   
   were both Komsomol members, hatched a plan to murder a German officer as   
   an act of revenge for the cruelty inflicted by the Nazis on the local   
   people.   
      
   The plan was for 18 year old Maria, who was very pretty, to make friends   
   with a German Lieutenant. She suggested to this man that they went for a   
   walk in the countryside to which he naturally agreed. Outside the   
   village, Fedor was waiting for them and came up behind the soldier and   
   hit him over the head with an iron crowbar. Maria was arrested the next   
   day and violently beaten during her interrogations but maintained her   
   innocence throughout. As they could not prove anything, they finally let   
   her go.   
      
   Several months later, Maria and her friends murdered another officer in   
   the same way. This time the Germans arrested nearly 100 inhabitants as   
   hostages and declared that they would execute them all if the murderers   
   didn't come forward. The following day Maria and her friends gave   
   themselves up to the Gestapo and confessed to the murder. Maria claimed   
   that she was the leader of the group.   
      
   On June the 18th, 1943, Maria, Fedor Rudenko and their comrade Vasiliy   
   Bugrimenko (both 19) were publicly hanged on the branch of an ash tree.   
   Three nooses dangled from the branch each with a box under it. The   
   prisoners were made to step up onto the boxes, the executioner noosed   
   them and then boxes were kicked out from under their feet leaving them   
   to slowly strangle to death.
