Biography 14/03/20 Commissioner Chaikin: what is happening to the woman-the executioner of the Cheka
a Slender, dark-haired, very strong woman named fruma lived three lives. Life was different, under different names. More precisely, even not so. She died eighty years old, but her life, a real life, one of the three that fit into the years of her earthly existence, was very short and bright as a meteor.
Life first. Khaikin.
6 Feb 1897 in novozibkov, Chernigov province, into a family of Jewish official’s daughter was born froome. She received home education within the two classes, and diligently, as befits a girl from a good Jewish family, learned to sew, because, pray tell, who’ll make her dowry, which would have to have? In General, about her childhood and adolescence, there is still very little information. She herself, apparently not very fond of later to remember the years in the Jewish settlement. Talked about how that was, like, well brought up, I was a student. And that rose beauty.
Life second. Shchors.
revolutionary movement Frum Chaikin joined in 1917. In 1918 she appeared in the city of Unecha (now the Bryansk region) at the head of the Chinese and the Kazakhs, who before the revolution was employed in the construction of the railway. Now they were out of business, and the new government quickly formed them into fighting units, including, and with the local Cheka.
Combat mission of the detachment was the establishment of revolutionary order in the border station, as well as read the user manual of emergency commissions in the field, 1918, “surveillance for counter-revolutionary agitation, the local bourgeoisie, unreliable counter-revolutionary elements, kulaks, profiteers, and other enemies of Soviet power, the adoption of preventive measures and warning against enemies.” This list of duties shows that yesterday’s students were full mistress in Unecha. She went in toagenoy jacket and leather pants, always accompanied by their Chinese, and with a revolver at his side. This Mauser froome was not difficult to use if necessary. She was the head of the local Cheka and a member of the Unechskaya of the revolutionary Committee.
keep the memories of how Frum suggests revolutionary order in the border area. It was worth it to see the “alien mood” of the guard or a representative of the bourgeoisie, as this short, skinny girl was saying, “Shot!”. And the Chinese brought out the sentence immediately.
There are more savory memories. “Haya in leather pants” — so called by her eyes and the eyes, has ruled the destinies of the inhabitants of the city, sitting on the porch of the house reserved for the headquarters of the Cheka. “All listen to her. She searches, she judges herself shooting: sitting on the porch, then judges, then and shoots” — reports the story of an eyewitness in his memoirs taffy. And further: “And in no way shy. I can’t even with the lady to tell, I’d rather talk to one gentleman Averchenko. He’s a writer, so he could somehow in poetic form to make it clear. Well, in one word, I would say that the easiest soldier sometimes from the porch goes into something yourself aside. Well, this Commissar will not depart and no hesitation not recognize…”.
Chaikin appeared in Unecha in the winter. A few months later, in the spring of 1918 it arrived here as Shchors – the Bolshevik commander of the guerrilla unit. Of course, the regimental commander and the owner of the local Cheka could not meet. They met. And soon, security officers and fellow soldiers Schorsa, and other motley crowd learned that the “red commander” and “Haya in leather pants” twisted love. Especially their closer, probably, the rebellion in Logoscom shelf, a formation which was engaged in Shchors. The rebels defeated the Cheka, occupied the headquarters of the regiment, seized the Telegraph, destroyed the railroad, and sent to the Germans with a request to take the Unecha. Shchors was saved only because he managed to escape from trying to arrest the rebels. The revolt was underavlen, but representatives of the new government had to go through some very troubling days. In late autumn 1918, froome was married and her surname became Shchors. But even married, froome with leather pants and a revolver didn’t break up.
In military formations under the command of Shchors, too, had their service, the Cheka, and the wife of the commander of the red they became in charge.
By mid-December, a detachment of Shchors dislodged from the neighboring Krasnodar regions, in particular, from Klintsy, detachments of Germans and Haidamaks – the so-called soldiers of the Hetman regime, who ruled in the Ukraine. Removed from the territories of the counter-revolution would bring a new, revolutionary order. Been doing froome Shchors. Years later, people recalled how this determined woman traveled to Moscow on horseback, in their invariable leather pants, with a revolver at his side. Under her leadership, found anyone who collaborated with the Haidamaks, and shot. In this they spared neither women nor adolescents.
August 30, Shchors was killed during the battle with the Petliurists. Froome felt it best to leave the Bryansk region, and did so under the pretext that many people thought far-fetched: she took her husband’s body to bury it as far as possible and save you from possible abuse by the petlurites. The burial place was chosen for some reason Samara.
the story is “Hai in leather pants” is completed.
Life is the third. Rostov.

She did many shows during this period, he participated in various official functions. She, as the widow of a hero of the civil war, has allocated an apartment in the “house on the embankment”.
