Speaking about Russian women nurses, we often refer to Dasha Sevastopolskaya (Darja Lavrentjevna Mikhailova), who became popular due to her courageous service during the Crimean war and Defence of Sevastopol. Her arrival at the Battle of Alma to take care of the wounded soldiers was the 1st work experience when the woman helped medics in the field of war. Dasha was the first volunteer nurse in Russia, who attended the injured straight from the battlefield and in the filed on battle. During the war a 17-year old girl, showed the example of courage to the famous commanders. Dressed in male clothes she also took part on the battle, collected cannon balls and handed then to the gunners.
Crimean war (1853 - 1856) was the time when the first community of the sisters of mercy crreated. Short after the Battle of Alma, the Grand Duchess Elena Pavlovna issued the call for women to join the Order of Exaltation of the Cross (Krestodvizhenskaya obshchina) for the year of service in the military hospitals. Soon the 1st section of 28 nurses headed to Sevastopol under the supervision of Nikolay Pirogov, a famous Russian military surgeon.
The women who volunteered were from different social groups ranging from the illiterates of humble background to members of upper nobility. In total 120 sisters of mercy took part in the Crimean war. Being not only a brilliant surgeon but a talented manager Pirogov allocated the duties among the women so that all of them could act professionally and out of fuss. Some worked at the pharmaceutics, others gave first aid to soldiers in the field hospital, some helped during the surgery.
Here are just some beautiful faces of Russian sisters of mercy: Ekaterina Bakunina, Elizaveta Kartseva, Elena Hitrovo, Varvara Shchedrina, Yulia Vrevskaya, baroness Eugenia Tol, the Duchess Natalia Shakhovskaya. Nowadays their portraits are fond in Russian history and art museums During the Russian-Turkish was, Russian-Japanese war, WWI and WWII Russian nurses shared the hardship of war, made the members of the Red Cross and took care of the wounded in hospitals at the immediate battle area and up-front.
There are many beautiful women in different nations, but Russian beauty has its own peculiarities and distinctive features. Since ancient times, many artists and poets admired the extraordinary beauty and intelligence of a Russian girl, and It's not just that she is very beautiful by nature. Russian girls are able to downcast eyes like delinquent children, it seems they are about to cry, their eyes barely restrain turquoise tears that came out of the permafrost, centuries of grief.
Many ordinary Russian traditions evoke surprise and incomprehension of foreigners. Russian women love to dress up. For example, a nice dress and high heels they consider appropriate attire for a simple stroll or even for ordinary trip to the store. Russian girl is a flower, leaning over the weak men, they forgive them and twirl them as they wish.
True love feeling will evolve if you find the right partner. It's not easy and it takes a lot of time. Joint travel can greatly help with this. Almost everyone loves to travel, and the young, attractive girls, probably more than anyone else. This is, perhaps, not only because they are the most receptive to everything new, beautiful and unknown, not hamstrung by conventions and stereotypes, but also due to the fact that unlike others may travel not only to something see but also be seen.
