EDITORS COMMENTS
This powerful and haunting image captures a pivotal moment in history - the Oath of Allegiance taken by members of the Women's Battalion of Death in Moscow during World War I. Composed entirely of Russian women, this battalion was led by the fearless Madame Botchkareva, who inspired her troops to stand and fight during the great retreat in Galicia.
The women of this battalion displayed unwavering courage and determination, each carrying a dose of cyanide of potassium to take in the event of capture. Their shaven heads symbolize their sacrifice and dedication to their cause, as they bravely faced the horrors of war on the Eastern Front.
In June 1917, these brave women gathered together to pledge their allegiance to their country, ready to defend it at all costs. This image serves as a reminder of the incredible strength and resilience shown by these female soldiers in a time when they were often overlooked or underestimated.
As we reflect on this piece of history, let us honor the memory of these courageous women who defied expectations and fought for what they believed in with unwavering loyalty and bravery.
