Biography
Rose Resnikoff was a young Communist arrested in New York City in 1930 for distributing anti-militarist leaflets to sailors of the U.S. fleet during the Grover Whalen crackdown, charged with "prostitution".
Samuel Herman identifies Resnikoff as a Young Communist League leaflet distributor arrested while urging visiting US fleet sailors to support workers and oppose an imperialist war. Police charged her with prostitution; the article treats that as a pretext against political distribution, not proof of sex work. No exact custody endpoints or disposition are given.
