Claim
His first wife, Nadezhda, died in a labor camp after being arrested in 1938.
Correction
Nadezhda Lukina-Bukharina was arrested in 1938, but records say she was sentenced to death and shot on March 9, 1940, not that she died in a labor camp.
Full reasoning
This sentence misstates Nadezhda Lukina-Bukharina’s fate. The Open List/Memorial repression record gives her arrest date as 30 April 1938, her sentence as VMN (execution by shooting), and her date of execution as 9 March 1940. The same record says she was held in Butyrka prison for nearly two years before sentence and execution. That contradicts the article’s claim that she “died in a labor camp.”
