Anna Timireva was the last love of the famous admiral Kolchak, who accompanied him everywhere. Some believe that she was shot after the execution of the military commander, but in fact this is not so.
Anna Vasilyevna Timireva lived a long, but very difficult and tragic life. She was not executed because they did not find the corpus delicti. However, she spent the last years of her life in exile and arrests, which totaled 30 years.
Retribution for love
As a young girl, Anna Timireva met with the famous Russian sailor Alexander Kolchak. He was 19 years older than her, but this did not become an obstacle in their proximity. Anna was devoted to her lover until the end of her life, but never became his legal wife.
Timireva had to pay for her loyalty and feelings for a long 30 years.
After the execution of Kolchak, who was shot, Anna was released from custody. However, a little later, she was again arrested and sent to a camp in Omsk, where she was serving 2 years. After her release, the woman wanted to return to the place where her first husband lived. However, instead of approving the authorities, they arrested her for another 1 year.
In 1922, Timirev was again exiled, a short respite after exile was replaced by a new arrest for 3 years. Basically, Anne's charges were for linking with foreigners and enemies. After the next release, the woman managed to become the wife of the engineer Knipper, whose surname she took. But this did not save her from further references.
The fifth arrest and false accusation of concealing Anna's past occurred in 1935. After the camps and exile, she worked as anyone, but for a very short time, she was persecuted again and again. Timireva’s subsequent final arrests occurred during the war years. Anna was finally free only after the war ended.
During the years of arrest and exile, she lost her adult son, who was shot in 1938. Her husband Knipper died of a heart attack, as he could not survive the persecution of his wife, whom he truly loved. Anna ended her ordeals in the Yaroslavl region, where she found work as a props in a small drama theater in the city of Shcherbakov.
