Taisiya Zakharovna Solzhenitsyna (née Shcherbak; 21 October 1894 – 17 January 1944) was a Russian farmer and landholder, and the mother of Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn. She came from a well-off background, with her father Zakhar Fyodorovich Shcherbak owning a very rich and productive estate in Kuban.[1]
Taisiya spent much of her formative years at her father's estate. In 1908, Zakhar sent Taisiya to a private gymnasium in Rostov where she performed exceedingly well, learning how to speak three languages fluently and graduating with a gold medal.[2] She then enrolled at the Higher Women's Agricultural Courses in Moscow in 1912 where she studied agronomy; however, her studies were cut short due to the February Revolution.[2] While in Moscow she met Isaakiy Solzhenitsyn,[3] an officer in the Russian Imperial Army, whom she married in Byelorussia in 1917, two months before the Bolshevik Revolution.[4] Isaakiy died just a year later in a hunting accident however, and Taisiya was left to raise their soon-to-be-born son Aleksandr on her own.[5]
In 1921 she moved back to Rostov in search of employment opportunities, and her son was left in the care of her sister Irina and her mother Yevdokiya.[6]
On 17 December 1944 she died from tuberculosis.[7]
