Liza Pilenko, Elizaveta Yuryevna Kuzmina-Karavaeva, mother Maria - behind this list of names there is one life, one personality. A significant and unique personality: artist and poetess of the Silver Age, philosopher and essayist, public and religious figure. And a woman who, throughout her life, carried a high feeling of love for one single person - for Alexander Blok. She faced many trials: the First World War, the socialist revolution in Russia and Russian emigration, the Second World War, the French Resistance... “In The personality of Mother Mary had traits that are so captivating in Russian holy women - an orientation towards the world, a thirst to alleviate suffering, sacrifice, fearlessness,” the philosopher Nikolai Berdyaev said about her. Mother Maria selflessly helped people until the end of her days - until her life was cut short in the gas chamber of the fascist concentration camp Ravensbrück.
