WOMEN DECEMBRISTS OF THE XX-TH CENTURY
The theme of the women Decembrists in the Russian liberation movement entered our domestic historiography almost as an illegitimate child or rather, as a kind of "historical accident, overgrown with literature ". But the years passed, and even decades, and " this incident" continued to grow as an avalanche, and went far beyond the chronological framework of the XIX-th century.Moreover, it has been repeatedly expanded "women's sector" of the topic - with 13 names of the wives of the Decembrists to a few tens or hundreds ofpeople. Moreover, in this "women's sector" quite clearly we can see two "layers" ofpersonalities -the Kalmyk wives, followed in Siberian exile after their husbands and their parents in December 1943, and Siberian women who married Kalmyks already in place their references and then returned with them to their small home, in Kalmykia.There is another difference between the feat of our Soviet Decembrists of the XX-th century and "the feat of the selfless love " (N.A. Nekrasov) of our glorious noble predecessors - in the heroism of Soviet Decembrists we can see, though not explicitly, a certain political component. And this line, too, in our opinion, needs further development.
