Bogdana Demidov
Hello. My name is Bogdana Demidov, and I am 28 years old. I have two children, Valeriya, age 5, and Vladislav, age 3. My husband, Gennady, is also 28, and is in the Russian army. I live in Puchezh, Russia. I am against the tzar, and am a socialist. I am very close to my sister Antonina, who is a prostitute. My husband is currently fighting in the Great War. I write him letters telling him news of the children and myself, rumors I've heard about the war, and other events. I have only gotten one responding letter from him, but I assume he's so busy in battle that he does not have the time to write home. Or that it is not safe to send letters in his current position. I hope to hear back from him soon.

I'm interested to learn about your socialist views. I don't really know much about Russian history or what a socialist and communist are or their differences.
ReplyDeleteAwesome names! Really close attention to detail in this small snippet alone. It is interesting to look at the home front aspect of this war - the lack of news was a nice touch. We rarely think of how hard it must have been for people at home to give up so much in helping those who they never hear from. The war must have seemed as a dream except when city bombing occurred. In this case, it is escalated since it was Russia mostly on the offensive, pushing into Germany. Thanks, and nice to meet you!
