Catherine Breshkovsky: Russian Revolutionary

Catherine Breshkovsky was born into aristocracy during the mid 1800s. From an early age she saw the injustices that surround the serfdom that was still practiced in Russia, and decided that it was her responsibility to join to revolution and make some changes. While she was able to escape the tsarist police forces numerous times, she was arrested on two different occasions. One resulting in a 20 year hard labor sentence in Siberia, and the other a lifetime sentence to Siberia.
