Zoya Kosmodemyanskaya showed extraordinary courage, she became a partisan by her own wish. To her mother, who tried to talk her from doing this, she answered "What can I do when the enemy is so close? If they came here I would not be able to continue living.”

At the village of Obukhovo Zoya and other partisans entered territory occupied by the Germans. They mined roads and cut communication lines. On November 27, 1941 Zoya received an assignment to burn the village of Petrischevo, where the Germans were. There Zoya managed to set fire to a couple of houses.

She was tortured and interrogated throughout the night but refused to give up any information. The following morning she was marched to the center of the town with a board around her neck 'Houseburner' and hanged.

"Comrades! Why are you so gloomy? I am not afraid to die! I am happy to die for my people!" "You'll hang me now, but I am not alone. There are two hundred million of us. You can't hang us all."
