37. You Did Not Want to be One of Saltykova’s Serfs – Especially Not One of Her Female Serfs

The murderous widow’s wrath was directed mainly at females. Of her hundreds of murder victims, only three were male, and they were killed by accident. Her vengeance upon men took the form of forcing them to watch her torture and murder their female kin. One of her male serfs, for example, lost three wives, one after the other, to Saltykova’s depravities.

Her viciousness towards her female serfs knew no bounds. She tortured and murdered them throughout the entire age spectrum, from babies to aging crones. Her wrath fell heaviest, however, on younger female serfs. Especially those who were both young and pretty.
