Her life meant death. Although she shot over 300 Nazis during planet War II, her private life was besides littered with victims. Her lifemates were killed on the front. Ludmila Pavlichenko – 1 of the most deadly snipers in history.

She was born on July 12, 1916 in the White Church in Ukraine. She was a damn surviving child, and for a reason, they said, "Let the boy." She loved sports and was obsessed with competition. After moving to Kiev, as a teenager she joined the shooting club and found that firearms were her destiny. She was so good that she earned a marksmanship certificate in precise shooting and received a prestigious marksmanship badge.

She was 16 erstwhile she married and had a son, but the idyllic was not long due to the fact that the matrimony fell apart. Her life began again.

As she was very active, she threw herself into a whirl of activities – to stay on the surface, she hired herself in a military mill as a grinder. To fulfill her professional career, she enrolled in Kiev University to become a past teacher and a scientist. To carry out herself, she took part in sports competitions as a sprinter and sprinter.

But the most crucial thing was shooting. Life showed that it truly was Ludmila's top passion of life. A passion that marked her positively but tragically. The future showed that it was this love that shaped her as a man. possibly not rather as the young Ukrainian dreamed, but dreams do not always come true.

She enrolled in a six-month sniper course led by the Red Army.

Ludmila was ready to face the future. And she shortly demanded her sacrifices.

It came 1941. Hitlerists invade the russian Union. So the minute came that made Pavlichenko born again. She turned 24 and was in her 4th year of college. As she stood, so she took the train to Odessa to go to the front. Unfortunately, her dream had to wait.

The authorities did not want to hand a female a firearm and assigned her as a nurse, which for this young, ambitious, athletic girl with a pathological tendency to compete and a gun-crazy must have been humiliating. She refused to assign.

Time worked in her favour due to the fact that unprepared for invasion by the Germans, Russian troops received a dense beating, and the corpse sent in densely. The Nazis entered the USSR rather quickly, the situation was becoming more and more difficult, and the individual shortages were affecting. The request for a minute made Pavlichenko receive approval to join the 25th firearm Division.

Unfortunately, she was sent to conflict without being armed. It's like protecting Stalingrad. The army collected quite a few cannon meat in 1 place and made him fight without even a knife. And so went these mediocre people brought from tens of russian republics with bare hands to nests of dense device guns.

They died ripped apart by firearm series, ripped by artillery missiles with no chance of anything. The only happiness that could have smiled at them was when, somehow, their armed companion was dying and he could have been pulled out. Yet, it has frequently happened that the 1 who received the firearms did not receive ammunition for it. And so it continued the common hunt for brothers and sisters under enemy fire.

Under specified conditions, the militant baptism of Ludmila Pavlichenko began. The Nazi slayer came, who any time later received proposals to decision into the German army and became friends with the First woman of the United States began her war adventure with helpless struggles on the battlefield like a hunted animal.

It was the eighth day of August 1941- the year erstwhile her squad took part in defending the hill. The body was sent densely and only the death of an armed companion caused Pawlicchenko to enter possession of the weapon. It was a Mosin self-repeated firearm – Nagant model 1891. Since then, past has begun.

Ludmila immediately after she obtained the weapon shot 2 Germans and planted a panic in the ranks of invaders. The young Ukrainian female felt the taste of blood, the glory of triumph and the designation of her colleagues. Since then, her destiny has been in 1 direction. She did not know that out of 2 1000 female snipers, the end of the war would be only 500.

But that wasn't crucial right now. Within a period of her death debut, during the siege of Odessa Pawlichenko had over a 100 confirmed killings, resulting in her being promoted to elder sergeant. The end of the fight for Odessa ended with a consequence of 187 to zero for the sniper, but besides with the fall of the city.

As a result, the Russians withdrew to Sevastopol, which the Germans besieged for 8 months. Among them was our hero. She met the sniper she fell in love with there. She married him, but the war is ruthless: during mortar fire, a man dies and this fact affects Ludmila. By May 1942, the number of Germans killed is 257. The female receives the lieutenant's dignity.

Her fame grew. Finally, specified an awesome number of victims killed in a comparatively short time cannot stay without echo. The Russians pass on legends about "Dam Death". Soon, Ludmila becomes a "star", which focuses on the most hard and prestigious missions that men have been commissioned to perform.

She was virtually “Damn Death.” She fought 36 sniper duels leaving the bodies defeated behind. After years, Pawlichenko recalled 1 of the duels that took place in Sevastopol and resembled a three-day common hunt. Needless to say, the enemy died in the ruins of the city.

As you can see, Sevastopol has reflected on all component of Ukrainian life. She had fresh responsibilities, and she was very happy to meet them: she trained fresh snipers who shortly shot 100 enemy soldiers. Meanwhile, Ludmila's individual counter increased to 309 shot. By June 1942!

The ruins of Sevastopol witnessed an effort to drag Pavlichenko to the Germans! The following messages were heard from the speakers:

“ Ludmilo Pavlichenko, come to us. We will give you lots of chocolate and make you a German officer. ”

In time, erstwhile the incentives didn't work, The Germans changed their tactics and another types of offers were heard from the speakers:

‘ If we catch you, we will teardrop you into 309 pieces and blow you to the wind!”

It seems to me that if Ludmila remembers anything from Nazi threats, it is only the number “309”. It's the number of her victims. So the mortal enemy knows her perfectly and knows how many of them she killed! Is there more praise in specified a situation? alternatively of being afraid, Pavlichenko must have glistened with contentment and sat with the worship of her comrades.

But nothing lasts forever. Even the career of the most deadly sniper. There are moments where you gotta say stop. And if you can't say it yourself, there must be individual next to you who appreciates the seriousness of the situation and protects you from yourself.

And so it happened in June, the same time she shot off the 3 100 and nineth enemy. In the course of 1 of the mortar fire, the sniper hits with shrapnel to the head, and the situation seems so serious that command withdraws Pavlichenko from the front. Evacuation takes place in a way worthy of the Bond movie – the submarine transports injured to a infirmary in Noworosyjsk. Soon, Sevastopol falls and most of its friends die.

A period later, Pavlichenko is well adequate to return to the battlefield. It is shortly convinced that the command has given it a different role, and the victim counter will halt at "309".

She was a pawn in a bigger game. She did not realize that the authorities had given her another political role. But first, a fewer words of explanation.

Pavlichenko, like our fresh colonel Volodyjowski, did not realize and did not even want to realize the context of the war in which the Red Army bled out.

Hitler's attack on the russian Union has been hard on the condition of the Red Army. The deficiency of weapons, the untrained soldiers, and the hopeless strategy made Stalin's soldiers' only strong point truly the harsh weather and hard terrain conditions. but they were hard conditions for both sides of the conflict.

In this situation, the USSR desperately wanted the Allies to open a second front, thus giving the Russians time to regroup, arming and counterattack. To this end, Stalin has decided to take action, present we would call it promotional, which aimed at gaining the sympathy of Western societies, which are, in effect, forcing the beginning of a second front on their governments.

To this end, the Russians sent to Western countries what they had best – Ludmila Pavlichenko, a surviving legend, “Damn Death”, a fragile female for whom the corpse was densely made.

Ludmila Pavlichenko is born again. It becomes super-weapon, but in the field of diplomatic wars. It goes to the United States. It is taken up by president Franklin D. Roosevelt and introduces his wife Eleanor, who invites Ukraine to tour America.

There is simply a large relationship between women who will last the war. The planet and the cold.

When we read the communicative of the beginning of the second front, the Allied invasion of Normandy and the "D – Day" I think that the brave Ludmila Pawlichenko laid the foundations for this decision.

The 'Damother of Death' has not only carried out her mission in the United States. She spoke in Canada, visited Britain. Everywhere she was, she met with kindness. Stalin truly had a nose sending this tiny, deadly female to another "mission impossible".

After returning to the country, she was promoted to major. It was besides awarded the Order of Lenin, and the title of Hero of the russian Union. She found postage stamps. But she never made it to the battlefield again. She trained another snipers.

After the war ended, she resumed her studies at the University of Kiev and defended her master's thesis dedicated to Bohdan Chmielnicki. She worked as a historian in Naval Command. Unfortunately, the war remained in it forever. Post-traumatic stress disorder and depression destroyed it from the inside and did not let average functioning.

In October 1974, Ludmila Pawlicchenko, the “Dama Death”, the most dangerous sniper in past is defeated. He's having a stroke. He's dying. After her death, a ship was named after the Ministry of Fish Economy of the USSR, 1 of the streets in the centre of Sevastopol and a school in the family's White Church.

However, the most beautiful memorabilia is the 2015 movie "The conflict of Sevastopol" by Russian Ukrainian production. An interesting, sad, and visually beautiful work was created about a female who, despite her unquestionable successes, cannot accomplish joy and fulfillment.
