Ada Pavlovna Lebedeva was born in 1983, in the family of an exiled. She devoted her entire life to the revolutionary struggle.
Biography
Ada Pavlovna was born in a small village, Almaznaya, located in the Irkutsk province. Her father, P. A. Sikorsky, was exiled to Siberia for promoting revolutionary views and participating in popular movements.
In 1903, P. A. Sikorsky died, and 20-year-old Ada Lebedeva moved to live in a small Siberian town, Yeniseisk, located in the Yenisei province (now the Yenisei district, Krasnoyarsk Territory). After living there for some time, the girl went to her mother, to the Chinese city created by the Russians, Harbin.
The girl decided to receive education in the capital of the Russian state, in St. Petersburg. In 1912 she entered the Petersburg Psychoneurological Institute. During her studies, Ada Pavlovna Lebedeva was one of the most active participants in the student revolutionary movement, she was a member of the Socialist Revolutionary Party (Socialist Revolutionary Party).
During the First World War, under the influence of the Bolsheviks, she began to defend the idea of turning the imperialist war into a civil war.
In 1915, Ada Lebedeva was arrested and sent into exile in the village of Kazachinskoe in the Yenisei province for 3 years. Then she was transferred to Minusinsk (now a city in the Krasnoyarsk Territory).
Revolutionary activity
In 1917, after the end of the February Revolution, Ada Lebedeva, together with her husband Grigory Spiridonovich Veyenbaum, moved to live in Krasnoyarsk. This was the beginning of her career.
In May 1917, Ada Lebedeva, S. Lazo and N. Mazurin, who at that time were officially members of the Socialist Revolutionary Party, organized the first organization of leftist socialist revolutionaries (internationalists) in Siberia, which began to publish its own newspaper Internationalist. Lebedeva was elected deputy chairman of the executive committee of the Krasnoyarsk district council of peasant deputies. After the end of the October Revolution in 1917, she became the editor of the Workers 'and Peasants' newspaper.
In May 1918, after the mutiny of the Czechoslovak Corps, Ada Lebedeva joined the Red Guard detachment. There she began to be trained in military service. After completing her studies, she began to carry out a patrol service on the streets of the city of Krasnoyarsk.
On the night of July 17, 1918, Czech volunteer troops approached Krasnoyarsk from both sides. A state of siege was declared in the city. Then the leaders of the Bolshevik Party decided to evacuate, sailing along the Yenisei to the northern part of the Yenisei province, and then across the northern seas to get to the city of Arkhangelsk.
Before the evacuation, representatives of the party destroyed a greater number of documents of the Red Guard, and about 500 kilograms of gold, 32 million rubles and securities were seized from the State Bank. All seized gold and securities, along with other material values, were transferred on board the Sibiryak motor ship.
During the evacuation, Ada Lebedeva served in the detachment that guarded the steamers sailing with the Bolsheviks. On July 18, opponents of the Bolshevik Party attacked the ships, and near the village of Monastyrskoye in the northern part of the Krasnoyarsk Territory, Lebedev, along with other representatives of the revolutionary movement, was detained by a detachment of White Guards, after which they were taken back to Krasnoyarsk.
On July 26, 1918, Ada Lebedeva, along with other Bolsheviks, was transferred to prison. But by order of the Cossack centurion, she, along with Markovsky and Pechersky, was snatched from prison. On July 27, in the afternoon, on the banks of the Kachi River, in the city of Krasnoyarsk, their mutilated corpses were found.
This incident became the source of renewed public unrest. On July 28, 1918, investigative work began on the murder of Lebedeva, Makarovsky and Pechersky. But almost immediately, the investigation was faced with a problem related to the complete absence of witnesses to the murder.
Almost a year later, on April 16, 1919, the case of the murder of three Bolsheviks was closed. Chief Prosecutor D. Ye. Lapo commented on the closure, pointing out that Lebedeva and Pechersky aroused hatred among the military, as they were radically opposed to the officers and demanded their execution, and therefore became victims of the attack.
Memory
In 1921, a street in the central district of the city of Krasnoyarsk was named in honor of Ada Lebedeva. Previously, this street was called Malo-Kachinskaya, since it was located on the banks of the same river Kacha, where the disfigured bodies of Ada Lebedeva, Makarovsky and Pechersky were found.
This street is also famous for the fact that E. L. Dmitrieva-Tolmanovskaya lived in house No. 93, who was in the Paris Commune (revolutionary government in Paris), founded the Russian section of the International, was the correspondent of the famous philosopher and public figure Karl Marx and founded the Women's Union … It is known that in 1905 an illegal printing house of the RSDLP was located in this house.
And in the house number 50 lived V. P. Kosovanov is a famous Russian geologist, topographer, ethnographer, bibliographer, professor who invented and in 1912 patented the coordinate meter and graphometer - special devices in the field of topography and land management.
To date, the main building of the Krasnoyarsk State Pedagogical University named after V. I. V. P. Astafieva.
