Pavel Aleksandrovich and the burning barn

◇ family testimony

Pavel Aleksandrovich lived in Batalpashinskaya; the family had a large and prosperous farm and kept bees. “During the Revolution” he was killed with pitchforks. His wife, Pelageya Alekseyevna, and their three small children were locked in a barn with other hostages and the barn was set on fire; “only by a miracle did they escape”. Afterwards the family lived in Cherkessk.

The family account is undated (“during the Revolution”).
