Sofja Sakharovna Fedorchenko
Sofja Sakharovna Fedorčenko ( Russian Софья Захаровна Федорченко ; scientific transliteration Sof'ja Zacharovna Fedorčenko ; born September 19, 1888 in St. Petersburg ; † July 12, 1957 in Moscow ) was a Russian nurse , writer and children's book author .
As a nurse during the First World War, she recorded what the Russian soldiers talked about when they were wounded in the hospitals and when they thought they were unobserved. She processed these experiences into a kind of front-page diary for the years 1915-16 from the perspective of the common soldier. Elias Canetti and Thomas Mann greatly appreciated the work published in German under the title Der Russe redet . It was also translated into French.
She has published further volumes of this work, which was published in Russian under the title Narod na vojne ( Russian: Народ на войне ; “The People at War”), on the February Revolution (1917) and the Russian Civil War (Russian).
Her historical works from the time of the Pugachev uprising : Detstvo Semigorova (The Childhood of Semigorov, 1956, first 1942), Otrocestvo Semigorova (Semigorov's boyhood, 1957) and Iunost 'Semigorova (The Youth of Semigorov, 1960) appeared in 1963 as a trilogy ( Pavel Semigorov : Trilogija. Romany ) in two volumes (Russian).
