In 1910, she graduated from the Vilna gymnasium and soon married Senator Kartashevsky, with whom she lived in St. Petersburg . After her divorce, Ksenia returned to Vilna and engaged in revolutionary activities.

In May 1918, the spouses Ge were sent to Kislovodsk , to work in the local Emergency Commission (Cheka). Ksenia Ge became the senior investigator of the Cheka, engaging in the identification of overt and covert counterrevolutionaries . According to historian Vladimir Buldakov , working as the Commissar of Health, Ge proposed to oblige women of the bourgeois class to become the mistresses of the Red Army to prevent the spread of sexually transmitted diseases among the latter [2] .
In July 1918 (with the offensive of the White Guard troops by Andrei Shkuro ), Gay was arrested. From the Grand Hotel, where she was held together with her little daughter, she ran alone, dressed in men's clothes. Ksenia tried to hide in Yessentuki , but one of the local doctors, whose relatives she had arrested at one time, recognized her and issued her for a reward of 50 thousand rubles [3] to the White Guard counterintelligence.
After a short investigation, Ksenia Ge was found guilty of a number of crimes during her work in the Kislovodsk Cheka and was sentenced to death by hanging. The execution took place on the morning of January 22, 1919 on the Cossack Hill (the hill of Ksenia Ge).
Ksenia died very courageously, - the eyewitness said, - already standing under the gallows in the bazaar, she said to her escort officer: “I am happy to die for my truth; you do not know it, you have your own, the other is true, but believe, mine will conquer yours. ” When her dress in a chic, blue silk dress and lacquer gorgeous shoes was taken out of the loop, a crowd of intelligent people, as if distraught, rushed to get the rope from the hanging woman, a particularly happy talisman.

Mocking over tombstones and monuments. So on August 16, 2006, the working day of the deputy chief physician of the mud baths began with an unpleasant fact. At 7:55, the duty officer received his message that the monument to Ksenia Ge was barbarously disfigured on Kurortny Boulevard. This woman-investigator did not commit anything arch-anti-popular during her life, and certainly does not have the slightest relation to possible disappointments of modern vandals, but nevertheless, someone broke into a dull smile, amusing herself to commit herself. The prosecutor’s office is preparing the response word, since the criminal case has been initiated.
