zoyaDuring a recent check of our site stats, I was pleasantly surprised to find that many hits for greeklish.org occur at our site's biography page on Zoya Kosmodemyanskaya.  A fair amount of hits come from Google and people have also linked directly to the bio page from a World War II discussion forum and from the Swedish Wikipedia entry on Zoya.

Because this section seems to generate a bit of interest, I have expanded it a little within the last week or so. I have now added an image gallery that contains images from several books on Zoya and I will be adding additional images from postcards, books and other resources when possible. Additionally, I have started transcribing "The Story of Zoya and Shura," which is a biography of Zoya and her brother Alexander.  This work was written by their mother, Lyubov Kosmodemyanskaya.  It was originally published by Foreign Languages Press (Moscow, 1953) and the text  is public domain.   The first several chapters are now posted and once transcription of the entire book is completed, it will be added to the Soviet History section of the Marxists Internet Archive. My transcription could probably use some proofreading (hint, hint...) and I would greatly appreciate notes on typos or scanning errors.
