She was born in 1902 in Vologda in a family of middle-class citizens. The eldest daughter in a family with 5 girls and 1 boy. She met her husband Alexander Filippovich Rodionov when she was a nurse in the 6th Army, which was advancing to Arkhangelsk. She became the wife of an officer, sharing a nomadic lifestyle with him. Since 1932, the family lived in Pskov. At the time of the war, they were in winter apartments in the city and were going to spend the summer in Belostok to visit her husband (after graduation, their eldest daughter Tamara). 2 weeks after the start of the war, the Germans occupied Pskov and began repressive measures against the families of the command staff, who were caught and shot, imprisoned and driven to the West. Anna Nikolaevna did not escape this fate and in 1942 was taken by the Germans to prison. Daughter Tamara was sent to a concentration camp in Gdansk, and Anna Nikolaevna herself, with her daughter Vera, 7 years old, and her infant daughter Nadezhda, was taken to the Baltic States to the town of Yampels, where she was forced to work with her children. At the end of March 1945, they were released from captivity by the Red Army. They returned to peaceful life in Pskov, where the house was destroyed, there was no housing and they were sheltered by the monks of the Cathedral on the territory of the Pskov monastery. Anna Nikolaevna was looking for her husband with all her might. After the war, she met a family friend, and he said to her: - Anya, give up all hope. It was all over on June 22, 1941. This was another blow to her. After going through all the torments of captivity, it was necessary to raise the rescued children and learn to live again. She never got married again, and she gave all of herself to her daughters. Rodionova Marina, granddaughter.
