Anna

Anna was a woman of 57, the wife of Mark Rui and a descendant of the Albazinians. She was killed on the night of 10 June 1900 (old style; 23 June in the new), during the Boxer Rising, in her own house, near the Beiguan quarter of Beijing.

The Albazinians are the descendants of the Russian prisoners from Albazin, brought to Beijing in 1685, with whom the Orthodox community in China began. Her name stands in the list of the 222 Orthodox Christians killed in 1900, drawn up in 1904 by the Brotherhood of the Orthodox Church in China.
