July 12, 1916: Happy birthday to "Lady Death" Lyudmila Pavlichenko, daughter of Soviet Ukraine and preeminent Red Army sniper in the war against fascism.

“The sooner the monster of fascism can be destroyed, the less blood will be shed—and that means your blood as well as ours.”

Nicknamed "Lady Death", Soviet Sniper Lyudmila Pavlichenko (1916-1974) was a force to be reckoned with. Credited with 309 confirmed kills, she is recognized as the most successful female sniper in history.

In 1942, she went to the United States as the Soviet Union attempted to convince the Allies to open a second front in Europe. Being a woman who had fought on the frontline, she was treated like an oddity. She was, for instance, asked some "simply stupid" questions during a press conference. Here are her answers.

QUESTION: Lyudmila, can you take hot baths at the front?

ANSWER: Absolutely, and several times a day. If you are sitting in a trench and there is an artillery attack, it gets hot. Very hot. That’s a real bath, only it tends to be a dust bath.

QUESTION: Did you have any protection?

ANSWER: Only my rifle.

QUESTION: Are women able to use lipstick when at war?

ANSWER: Yes, but they don’t always have time. You need to be able to reach for a machine gun, or a rifle, or a pistol, or a grenade.

QUESTION: What colour underwear do you prefer, Lyudmila?

ANSWER: In Russia you would get a slap in the face for asking a question like that. That kind of question is usually only asked of a wife or a mistress. You and I do not have that relationship. So, I will be happy to give you a slap. Come a bit closer . . .

QUESTION (from a woman journalist): Is that your parade uniform or your everyday uniform?

ANSWER: We have no time for parades at the moment.

QUESTION (also from a woman): But the uniform makes you look fat. Or don’t you mind?

ANSWER: I am proud to wear the uniform of the legendary Red Army. It has been sanctified by the blood of my comrades, who have fallen in in combat with the Fascists. It bears the Order of Lenin, an award for military distinction. I wish you could experience a bombing raid. Honestly, you would immediately forget about the cut of your outfit.

QUESTION: The tobacco company Philip Morris is offering you a contract. They are ready to pay half a million dollars to put your portrait on cigarette packets. Will you agree to it?

REPLY: No. They can go to the devil.

You're a fascist who supports gun violence and you should be ashamed of yourself.

Shut the fuck up liberal

The only good Nazi is a dead Nazi.

Do your community a service; make Nazis afraid again.

The more Nazis that feel unsafe expressing their incredibly depraved ideology, the safer all minorities are. Give them a reason to feel unsafe.

LT. LYUDMILA PAVLICHENKO // SNIPER

“She was a Soviet sniper in the Red Army during World War II. She is credited with killing 309 enemy combatants. She served in the Red Army during the siege of Odessa and the siege of Sevastopol, during the early stages of the fighting on the Eastern Front. Her score of 309 kills likely places her within the top five snipers of all time, but her kills may be significantly more numerous, as a confirmed kill has to be witnessed by a third party. It was said that she couldn’t pull the trigger on her first kill until she saw a German shoot a young Russian soldier.”

I had to google her. Damn. She was a badass for sure.

I wonder if our snipey bois have heard of Simo Häyhä (the White Death, a Finnish sharpshooter) who had over 500 kills (some estimate the number to be about 200) during the Winter War 1939-1940. Häyhä is the best sharpshooter in history.

This guy was so badass. Literally have a personal love for him. I have no doubt they heard of him and inspire to be as deadly and badass as he was. Though Ghost is quite a bit bigger than Häyhä was lol. But this man was so fucking awesome! He survived getting shot in the FACE! And when WWII rolled around he was ready to get back in the fight!
