Maria Wetrowa

Marija Fedosjewna Wetrowa ( Russian Мария Федосьевна Ветрова ; born January 3, 1870 in the village of Solonowka , Chernigov Governorate , Russian Empire ; † February 12, 1897 in Saint Petersburg ) was a Ukrainian teacher and member of the Saint Petersburg group of Narodovolts .

Life

Marija's mother, the Cossack Alexandra Nikolajewna Wetrowa and her father, a notary, had not been married in church. That is why Marija was considered her illegitimate daughter at the time. So Marija was given away to farmers and then put in an orphanage. In spite of this, the girl graduated from the Chernigov grammar school and worked as a teacher in Lyubetsch on January 12, 1889 . In April 1889, Nikolai Sadowski took Marija on the recommendation of Marija Sankowezkaja in his theater troupe.

From 1890 to 1894 Marija Wetrowa worked as a teacher in Azov . In 1894 she was accepted into the St. Petersburg Bestuschewskije kursy as a student.

Marija Wetrowa spent the summer vacation of 1895 in the country - in a village near Tolstoy Yasnaya Polyana . An encounter with the writer, in which Marija appeared as a self-confident young woman, has been handed down.

From the fall of 1895 she taught factory workers in Petersburg in a Sunday school. In the spring of 1896, Marija Wetrowa took a room in house number 6 on Little Italian Street in St. Petersburg.

On December 22nd, 1896 at six in the morning she was arrested with Anna Mikhailovna Rasputina for working in the Lachtinskaya tipografija printing house in Petersburg . Marija Wetrowa was in the Trubetskoy Bastion prison - located in the Peter and Paul Fortress . The Narodowolzin died of the consequences of an attempt at self-immolation - carried out on February 8, 1897 in protest against the prison conditions - four days later in the prison hospital. Marija Wetrowa was buried in an unknown location on February 13th.

Leon Trotsky wrote in his memoirs that he had become a revolutionary through the so-called Vetrowa demonstrations that followed in response to the burning in Russian university towns.
