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 living 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. 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 Russian Revolution.[2] While in Moscow she met Isaakiy Solzhenitsyn, an officer in the Russian Imperial Army, whom she married in Byelorussia in 1917. 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.
In 1921 she moved to Rostov looking for employment opportunities, and her son was left in the care of her sister Irina and her mother Yevdokiya.
On 17 December 1944 she died from tuberculosis.
