Plot synopsis
The tape tells about the path of the legendary Zoe Kosmodemyanskaya from the prom on the eve of the war to her heroic death on November 29, 1941. Zoya Kosmodemyanskaya, a member of the sabotage and reconnaissance group, was abandoned behind enemy lines in 1941. After completing part of the task, the girl was captured by the Germans and, after cruel torture, was hanged. She became the first woman to receive the title of Hero of the Soviet Union posthumously during the Great Patriotic War.
