Praskovya Angelina

[4] In 1929, she started attending tractor-driving courses in her native oblast while also working at a dairy farm.

At that conference, she officially promised to organize 10 more female tractor teams in her raion.

In 1938 she signed an appeal entitled "One hundred thousand (female) friends - onto the tractor!"

Women shouldering work with tractors made it possible for more men to be drafted into the Soviet Army before and during World War II.

During the Second World War, Angelina studied agriculture in Moscow for two years and then worked as a brigade leader in the Kazakh SSR until the end of hostilities.
