Lyudmila Pavlichenko was a Ukrainian Soviet sniper during World War II. Her recruiter urged her to become a nurse, but she insisted on becoming a soldier. Pavlichenko had a shooting certificate from a gun club in Kiev that she earned at age 14.

Does that picture look reversed? Or maybe its a made-up Soviet propaganda pic?

The scope mount is on the same side as the bolt...I don’t recollect seeing anything like that. Also it appears that the bolt is missing from the back of the action by the thumbpiece.

Not that the Soviets would stage anything.... ;)

Interesting photo of the dashing Lyudmila.
