Great story. some of this deserves to be here, but some of it is obviously wartime propaganda. Better phrasing should help - e.g. "It is claimed" might be used - if we can say who claimed it - rather than stating things as fact that with a little thought, we should know cannot be documented - or even know - as fact.

Arsonist?
She was a soldier tortured to death. Soldiers now and then destroy properties of life. It does not give us the right to classify them as arsonists or terrorists. It is OK to attribute this opinion to somebody. It is OK to show that Soviet propaganda gilded her biography and show the dark and grey pages. It is not OK to specify libels as facts Alex Bakharev05:13, 14 August 2007 (UTC)
Women in War and Resistance, quoted in :
“
After personally burning down several peasant houses occupied by the enemy
in the village of Petrishchevo (Vereya District/Moscow Region), and cutting
some telephone wires, Kosmodem'yanskaya returned to the village, in order to
set fire to a presumed storehouse (which turned out to be a cavalry stable).
She was caught in the act by a German sentry. Her captors led her to the
house of peasant Mariya lvanovna Sedova, where they undressed her and began
to interrogate her.
This is your own original research that is better kept in your personal blog. You can put referenced facts and attributed notable opinion, not your own synthesis. Also please re-read WP:TROLL and stop behaving like one Alex Bakharev07:46, 14 August 2007 (UTC)
First, let me declare your personal attack an indication of hypocrisy from your part. I'm disappointed; I used to believe you wouldn't descend to the level of Ghirlandajo.
Second, do you really want the Infamous Board -- the primary source for her being considered an arsonist by her captors -- to be cited explicitly? The board is quoted in so many secondary and tertiary sources it would pass WP:RS with flying colours, and as you can see from the cited biography, historians generally agree that it was accurate description of her actions.
