Battlefield 1 Gets Female Soldiers
Russian Women’s Battalion of Death!
According to Electronic Arts, the upcoming expansion of Battlefield 1, In the Name of the Tsar, will add Women’s Battalion of Death to the game. It is a new Russian unit and the first multiplayer female soldier of the game.
According to Wikipedia, 1st Russian Women’s Battalion of Death is actually started with Maria Bochkareva in May 1917. She was a peasant woman who had served in the Russian army since November 1914 and had risen to the rank of non-commissioned officer, petitioned the government to establish a battalion of female soldiers under her command.
At the end of May, the Minister of War of the Russian Provisional Government, Alexander Kerensky, authorized the formation of the 1st Russian Women’s Battalion of Death in Petrograd. This first all-female combat unit initially attracted over 2,000 enlistees between the ages of eighteen and forty, but Bochkareva’s strict discipline and refusal to allow the formation of soldiers’ committees soon drove out all but about 300 volunteers.
