1899

She married well-known Russian diplomat Mikhail Plisetski (1899–1938) and they had three children: famous ballerina Maya Plisetskaya (1925–2015), talented balletmaster Alexander Plisetski (1931–1985) and principal dancer Azari Plisetski (1937–).

1902

Rachel Mikhailovna Messerer-Plisetskaya (Рахиль Михайловна Мессерер-Плисецкая; 4 March 1902 – 20 March 1993), also known by her stage name Ra Messerer, was a Russian silent film and theatre actress.

Rachel Messerer was born in Vilnius into the Lithuanian Jewish family of dentist Mikhail Messerer and his wife Sima Shabad.

She was one of nine children: each child was given a biblical name: Pnina, Azariah, Mattany, Rachel, Asaf (or Assaf), Elisheva, Sulamith (or Shulamith), Emanuel, Abinadab and Erella.

Rachel, her brother Azari Azarin (an actor), sister Sulamith Messerer (ballerina) and brother Asaf Messerer (ballet dancer, choreographer) became famous and started a dynasty of outstanding ballet dancers and ballet masters.

1925

Messerer graduated from Institute of Cinematography in 1925 (class of Lev Kuleshov).

During the early years of Soviet system, Messerer starred at the "Bukhkino" and "The Star of the East" studios.

1937

Ra Messerer’s film career was rather short, because soon after the wedding she devoted herself to the family and her husband, who represented the Soviet Government in Spitsbergen, being the Consul General in Barentsburg and chief of coal mines.On 30 April 1937, her husband Mikhail Plisetski was purged, charged with espionage and executed on 8 January 1938.

1938

In early March 1938, Messerer was arrested.

The secret police agents demanded of Messerer to confirm that her husband was "a spy, a traitor, a saboteur, a criminal, and a participant of the conspiracy against Stalin."

Rather bravely for those years, she refused and was sentenced to 8 years in prison.

Her daughter Maya faced the threat of an orphanage; she was adopted by her aunt Sulamith.

Her son Alexander was taken by the family of Rachel's brother Asaf Messerer.

These events caused many troubles to Asaf and Sulamith.

1939

In summer 1939, Rachel was transferred to the "" (in Kazakhstan).

1941

Messerer was released in 1941, only two months before the start of the Great Patriotic War.

After her release, she never restarted her acting career.

In those days, no director would have risked his career by inviting her.

Nevertheless, she believed that her husband was alive and would come back someday.

1956

On 3 March 1956, she learned the truth: in the papers on rehabilitation of Mikhail Plisetski, the execution date of his execution was disclosed: 8 January 1938.

1971

Her granddaughter Anna Plisetskaya (1971–) is also a ballerina.
