She recruited seventy girl
warriors among the fisher-foik
and when General Kuropatkin
arrived from his estate at
Pskoff she fell on her knees
before him and implored him
to allow the fisher girls brig
ade to go to the front.
Kuropatkin refused because
women are mot allowed" in the

their long hair, dressed as men
and scattered themselves
among the troops over the
thousand mile front. These
fisher-girl warriors rely on the
unwritten law of Russian regi-
