You are a beloved friend and you will remain so for me: how Clara and Rosa almost became related, quarreled, but everything ended well (8 photos)

You can talk about the activities of these active ladies for a long time. But not ardent revolutionaries were also alien to ordinary human passions.





Clara Eisner, and later Zetkin, possessed, perhaps, the most important trait for a woman. She was beautiful. And gifted by nature capital had to be spent wisely, since neither inheritance nor useful connections, the girl had no money. I had to break through with my mind, and the new pedagogical star liked the political ideas.



Clara

At a meeting of a circle of the Social Democratic Party, she I met Osip. Zetkin was not particularly handsome, besides, he was ill. But for the girl, the beloved became the meaning of life and the light in the window. young exalted Clara dreamed of a family and children, while Osip cared only politics.

After moving to France (by the way, the marriage was never officially was imprisoned) life became quite dull. For articles, Zetkin received pennies, and the woman had to grab onto any dirty and heavy work to subsist simply.

In the meantime, she managed to give her beloved heirs - sons Constantine and Maxim. This is not to mention the continuation of the active political activity. So, if you wish, you can combine home, work, family, career and more. Clara did it.

Help and Support





Osip

A woman has also learned to look for those who stand up for revolutionary ideas of people who are ready to invest financially. Skill is important because Osip finished off tuberculosis. Clara and the children returned to Germany and founded the newspaper "Equality", which quickly became popular.

What about personal?



Clara with sons

In terms of personal life, everything was dull. Who needs a 40 year old a widow with two children? Although the sons have already grown up and did not burden woman. But perseverance and vigor allowed the charming activist lure promising artist Georg Zundel. Society seethed with indignation: the chosen one is suitable for sons, so also marriage in the old habit was not included.



George

Clara was not interested in the opinion of society. She got her piece of female happiness. The young chosen one and made a significant contribution to budget: George's canvases were in demand.

Rose

But Rosa, with whom Zetkin made acquaintance back in France, less fortunate. Luxembourg was short, lame, disproportionately built (the lower part significantly outweighed top) and definitely lost according to external data to a new girlfriend. And only the lazy one did not pass along the long nose of the girl.

But when she went up to the podium and began to speak, then lameness, and nose, and proportions - absolutely everything faded into the background. For the girl was a born orator - soulful, earnest, ready to lead. It was impossible not to believe her.



Rosa and Konstantin

She even married a revolutionary. But complete happiness I could not feel the happiness of motherhood: Leo Yogihes, husband, forbade her to give birth. When the woman was 36 years old, Clara asked to look after his son, Constantine. Faithful friend did not refuse the request and furiously, like everything in life, she began to patronize the 22-year-old "baby".

Somehow imperceptibly during the lessons of Marxism, business relations switched to personal. A romance began, which the lovers did not consider necessary to hide. Clara was furious. Although, who would be furious? After all she herself lived with a man half her age. But this is different. For son she did not want such a party.

The friends quarreled. The situation was further aggravated by the fact that the artist by that time had left his aging lover and went over to younger lady. Zetkin experienced a double betrayal very hard. Saved by work.

Konstantin, 5 years later, also left Rosa. She did not arrange a showdown, because she was still especially wise. And wrote to a former lover: “You are a beloved friend and you will remain so for me as long as you like. Everything about you is more important to me than the whole the rest of the world".



After all the worries, the relationship between the friends improved. After all, what do they have to share? passions in the past. And men… They are such men. That even the cause of the revolution cannot be entrusted to them. Everything must be taken into your own hands. At least in matters of achieving the goals, the girlfriends showed respectable perseverance.
