Subject: [SEELANGS] female executions in Russian literature

Dear all,
I've just received the enquiry below from a student called Emily 
Dickinson (!) and wondered if anyone can suggest any texts she might
use:

I am currently studying for my MA in Modern and Contemporary
Literature at Loughborough University. As I am sure you are aware each
student to complete this programme has to undertake a dissertation on a
chosen topic. My idea is to  consider fictional portrayals of real life
female executions in twentieth century literature. In particular I would
like to compare representations in American and Russian work. For the
former I intend to use work based on Ethel Rosenberg's death, such as
Robert Coover's The Public Burning and E.L. Doctrow's The Book of
Daniel,
but I am having real difficulty finding texts for the latter. As my
university does not specialise in Russian literature I was wondering if
may
you had any possible suggestions which could help me?
Many thanks for you time,
Emily Dickinson

All best,
Alex Harrington
