Lyudmila, a legendary female sniper in the history of the Soviet Army, was filmed on the russian film "Female Sniper".
Born in June 1916 in Beirachalik, Ukraine, her father was a locksmith from St. Petersburg, and although her life was average, the love of her family made this cute little girl grow up healthy. When she was 14 years old, the family moved to Kiev, finished secondary school and married at the age of 16, had a son after marriage, and in a peaceful and happy life, she never thought that she would one day raise a gun to kill people, and all of a sudden it was more than 300.
At the age of 21, she was admitted to the history department of Kiev University after ending her first marriage. When she was in college, she liked both gliding and shooting (forehead, special forces?). But on the day of her graduation, that is, on June 22, 1941, the Great Patriotic War broke out, and she gave up the opportunity to go to school as a history teacher to avoid going to the front line, and resolutely signed up to join the army and volunteered!
She served in the Chabayev Regiment of the 25th Infantry Division of the Red Army and soon became an excellent sniper due to her extremely good shooting talent. Soon, she participated in a series of big and hard battles such as the Defensive Battle of Moldavia, the Battle of Odessa and the Battle of Crimea, and countless warriors fell, but this brave female warrior still fired deadly bullets one by one.
Usually, a Soviet infantry company was staffed with two snipers, and in December 1941, six months after serving in the army, her partner was Lieutenant Leonid at the Battle of Sevastopol on the Black Sea. Soon they became lovers in the midst of war (female singers and husbands).
But the war was merciless, and in the chaotic world, people's lives were like grass, and the pair of mandarin ducks in the field were only in love for 3 months, and Leonid was sacrificed. He died under mortar fire from the Germans at sniper positions, while Lyudmila personally brought back her lover's body from the battlefield.
In the subsequent Battle of Odessa, Lyudmila killed a total of 179 German and Romanian officers and soldiers with superb archery and steady tactics.
By June 1942, she had killed 309 enemy enemies, including 36 German snipers with a high gold content. At this time, she was only 26 years old and had just been in the army for a year! What is even more valuable is that she is not only very good at fighting, but also a teacher material, training many snipers in battle and teaching combat experience to other units, which can be described as a remarkable achievement. Presumably, no one expected that the girl who was supposed to teach history in the classroom would become a female war goddess who taught killing techniques in the baptism of war.
During the battle in June 1942, she was seriously wounded under German mortar fire and was transferred to the rear for treatment. Because of her outstanding achievements and long-standing reputation, she recovered from her injuries and was sent to Moscow to be received by the leaders. In the same year, she was transferred to the Soviet Youth Delegation as a combat hero, representing the Soviet national image on a trip to Canada and the United States to win sympathy and support for her homeland.
At the White House, she was warmly received by President Roosevelt and his wife, and was even invited to live in the White House for a period of time, which was the first time in the world, because she was the first Soviet citizen hosted by the White House. The U.S. military gave her an exquisite Colt revolver as a gift, and the famous American country music singer Woody Guthrie wrote a song "Miss Pavlitchenko" for her!
In Canada, countless people crowded at the Toronto train station to welcome her, and as a tribute, the Canadian government presented her with a Winchester rifle, which is now on display at the Moscow Military Museum.
At a reception, when asked her about the details of the lives of Soviet soldiers, she replied: "I am 26 years old and have eliminated 300 enemies on the front line. The answer drew warm applause and made Canadians think that they should increase their support for the Great Patriotic War in the Soviet Union.
On October 25, 1943, Lyudmila was awarded the title of Hero of the Soviet Union, the highest national honor in the Soviet era, and could be worn with the Order of the Venus.
After the end of the Great Patriotic War in 1945, she returned to Kiev University to complete her studies, and after graduation worked as a researcher in the Soviet Naval Staff in Moscow. She died of a stroke in Moscow on October 27, 1974, at the age of 58.
Now, the Mosin Nagant rifle and the SVT40 semi-automatic rifle she used are in the collection of the Moscow Military Museum. There is a museum in her hometown of Biela Chalik that commemorates her, a street named after her in Sevastopol, where she fought, and two years after her death, the Soviet Union issued stamps commemorating her, in short, people are using every means to pay tribute to her outstanding contributions in the Great Patriotic War!
Having said all this, as the author of the single dog, I would like to ask, like the Americans and Canadians to send the goddess rifle, can you get rid of the single?
