Stub
I created the stub. There's not much material available on Fanya (she was a minor revolutionary) and the material on the internet is mostly from Goldman and Berkman's writings. If anyone out there knows more about Fanya Baron, please share it!

Question
Fanya Baron was executed for what offences? Francesco.
Interesting question. For being an anarchist. For escaping gaol. For trying to help her husband to escape prison. I mostly for being an anarchist.
U consider anarchism being a crime? They were murdered because of thinking differently.
In Emma Goldman's autobiography Living my Life, chapter 52 the order of events is described differently than in this article. Specifically, Goldman met Fanya in the
Butirky prison sometime after
Kropotkin's death and before the
Kronstadt rebellion. Fanya was moved to the
Ryazan prison on April 25, 1921. She was among 10 anarchists who planned a hunger strike there. Just before the opening of the
Red Trade Union Congress of 1921, 13 anarchists in the
Taganka Prison began a hunger strike. It is not clear if Fanya was one of them. The European delegates to the Congress obtained assurances on 13 July 1921 that the anarchists in Taganka would be allowed to leave the country, and the hunger strike was halted. After the Congress had ended, Sasha Berkman met Fanya in Moscow; she had escaped from prison and was living with the brother of her husband Aron Baron, who was in prison. Fanya and her brother-in-law were plotting Aron's escape, but she was discovered and arrested. Months later, 10 of the 13 Taganka hunger-strikers were released from prison. At that point, Fanya was in the inner Cheka prison, where she was executed on 30 September 1921.

GA review (see
here for what the criteria are, and
here for what they are not)
I am familiar with anarchism and was delighted to view the image was seemingly uploaded by a family member of the subject. This is my first GA, so i hope you will bear with me. I will ask a mentor to check my work. It does not seem to qualify for a quick fail.
b. (citations to
reliable sources): literally chock-full of prestigious books and no glaring unreliable source. will return here to remove doubt once I've verified everything.
c. (
OR): Only thing i can imagine is "false citation" where source doesn't say the simple fact.
d. (
copyvio and
plagiarism): seems unlikely and passes automated check.
It is broad in its coverage.
a. (
major aspects): do a few more searches to make sure
b. (
focused): it's all directly related to the subject.
3a. I've already done the searches. I don't exaggerate when I say every source available to me is already in this article, either in the bibliography, further reading or external links. I even added a number of
primary sources to flesh out the information, which I usually try to avoid doing. What more can be done other than incorporating more inline citations from the further reading and external links? I'm happy to do that but I don't think any more information can be gleaned from them.
4. I can have a look through the further reading (where this source is included) if that's necessary for achieving broadness and neutrality.
6b. Their facial features align with other photographs that exist of them. This image is also listed in a number of other off-wiki encyclopedia entries on Aron and Fanya Baron. Regardless, I've removed the image, as this article is short enough that it probably shouldn't be in there as a left-aligned image. (Per
MOS:IMAGELOC)
Let me know if there's anything more I can do. --

Ok, I've gone through all of the further reading and added inline citations for pretty much all of it (except the French language source, as the website died). I also segmented the bibliography in order to make it clear which sources are primary, secondary and tertiary. I've tried doing further research in Russian language sources but so far I haven't managed to find any extra information. --

Very sorry for giving you the wrong impression, these were meant as notes to myself.
I have found nothing objectionable so far!

Full verification questions
Article says "heath 2009", but it was uploaded by a third party in 2009? How can I be confident heath wrote it?
J-grid is a blog(?), which i think is fine as as a redundant source, but not authoritative by itself. is there a reason it is authoritative? Is a liberal arts degree sufficient (I don't know)?
Bart Terpstra (
talk) 16:12, 16 July 2023 (UTC)reply
It wasn't uploaded by a third party, that's Heath's account, every one of his works on libcom is submitted through that account. If you're not certain of the reliability of Meyer 2007, it's not being cited here for anything unconfirmed by other sources, so I can easily remove citations to it if necessary. --
Grnrchst (
talk) 19:08, 16 July 2023 (UTC)reply
I fully believe you, but how could I verify it's heath's account? This does not seem to matter for good article review, I'm just genuinely curious.

Comments below the announcement of his new book seem to confirm it.

ALT3: ... that after Fanya Baron broke out of
Ryazan prison, she began laying plans to break her husband
Aron Baron out of
Taganka Prison, but was re-arrested before she could? Source: Goldman 1934, pp. 917–919.
Article has achieved Good Article status. No issues of copyvio or plagiarism. All sources appear reliable. Hooks are interesting and sourced. QPQ is done. Primary hook looks good, but the alts are fine as well. Good to go.
