Description
Memoirs of Sister of Mercy Maria Antonovna Nesterovich-Berg. She was one of the leaders of the “Union of Soldiers and Officers Who Escaped from Captivity”—a charitable organization that helped former prisoners of the First World War. In the first months after the October coup, Maria Antonovna saved and evacuated (mostly to the Don region) 2627 officers and cadets from Moscow.
White fighters called this fragile nineteen-year-old girl “our benefactress,” and dedicated poems to her. Fulfilling her Christian duty, acting in plain sight of the Bolsheviks, she constantly risked her life. She repeatedly carried out missions for the command of the Armed Forces of the South of Russia, making her way from “red” Moscow to the Don and back.
In 1918 in Kyiv, Maria Antonovna worked to provide for Russian volunteers and their families. From May 1920, Maria Nesterovich-Berg was in emigration in Poland.
