Screenshot from footage of the alleged Ukrainian drone assault on the Russian Black Sea fleet (Picture: Twitter) Ukraine’s simultaneous sea and sky drone strike on Russia’s Black Sea flagship on the weekend was hailed as novel in naval warfare and a tactical turning level in Vladimir Putin’s warfare on Ukraine. “We have by no means seen it [before],” Travis Reddy, CEO of Australian defence know-how firm DefendTex, instructed Crikey. “The flexibility to shortly evolve and iterate and have an effect on the enemy is one thing that we have by no means seen in trendy battle.” Based on open-source intelligence evaluation of video footage (the supply is but to be confirmed), the twin aqua and aerial assault on the Crimean port of Sevastopol broken and doubtlessly disabled Russia’s lead frigate, the Admiral Makarov.

‘Battle for Sevastopol’

★★★★★

2015 – Dir. Sergey Mokritskyiy

Lyudmila Pavlichenko is something of an inspiration to me, ever since I discovered her remarkable story, and as soon as I found there was a film about her I had to see it. ‘Battle for Sevastopol’ far surpassed my expectations, even though I am wary about bio-pics. I find that in order to create a better story they sometimes exaggerate events too much, but I didn’t have to be worried. Aside from some side characters and slight changes to better accommodate her story in the film, Lyudmila’s story remains mostly unchanged.

Lyudmila Pavlichenko (Yulia Peresild) is perhaps the most successful Russian female sniper. With 309 confirmed kills, she had a major role in WWII, and perhaps most well-known is her close friendship with Eleanor Roosevelt (Joan Blackham) which started during a tour to the United States to boost propaganda. Lyudmila’s story is told through flashbacks as Eleanor Roosevelt remarks fondly upon her time with Lyudmila and the reasons behind their close friendship.

What this film remarkably tackles is the sexism of the times. When greeting the foreign visitors, Eleanor Roosevelt almost passes over the young and small Lyudmila, until she interrupts the process. In addition, through the tour Lyudmila is asked sexist questions about the length of her skirt, and how she applies make-up in the field. She is put out by this – in Russia she is a respected soldier, but in the USA she is nothing more than a gimmick – ‘Lady Death’. It is through this that Lyudmila and Eleanor bond and is the start of their close friendship.

Another main component of the film is Lyudmila’s love interests. From what I know of her life, only one of these men truly existed, but the others serve well as vessels for us to see Lyudmila’s trauma through, that otherwise would be difficult to tell in a film format. Her first love, Makarov (Oleg Vasilkov), shares with her his trauma after the death of his wife and child during the German invasion, and together they struggle to survive the hardship of those first few months of war. Makarov is eventually killed, and Lyudmila begins to show her trauma, wounding enemies cruelly before firing the fatal shot in order to draw out rescuers, whom she also killed. Her spotting partner, Leonid (Yevgeny Tsyganov), puts an end to this and together they started a deep and heartfelt relationship. Although it in not confirmed in the film, Lyudmila and Leonid were married, until his death around 1942. After this, Lyudmila is under the care of Boris (Nikita Tarasov), a doctor, who courted her not long before the war began. At the evacuation of high ranking officers from the falling Sevastopol begins, Boris sacrifices his own ticket to get Lyudmila away from the fighting and to safety. Both Boris and her childhood friend, Masha, die in the resulting fall of Sevastopol.

Lyudmila’s trauma is very real and put front and centre of the film. When Eleanor Roosevelt drops a pan with a long clang, Lyudmila feels she is back on the front line, crouching behind cover and clutching a knife in her hand, ready to attack at a moment’s notice. She appears very cold compared to the lively Eleanor, but it is through this repression of emotions that we begin to fully understand Lyudmila as a person, and how her experiences have shaped her. The film is a touching tribute to her remarkable life and service in WWII, and Mokritskyiy sensitively handles material that could overshadow the entire film, managing to find moments of light and happiness among the gravitas of the events that hang like a deadly shadow over the tale.

It is perhaps telling that I have few notes made on this film, as I was so absorbed in what I was seeing onscreen that I forgot to write anything down. The sorrowful tale of Lyudmila’s life has been in my thoughts ever since I saw the film, and I’ve no doubt it will continue to haunt me. It is a touching, but heartful story, and the happy ending may be unlike what we expected going into the film, but it stays true to Lyudmila’s life and brings the audience as sense of relief after the hard-hitting events of WWII. Fantastically done, and with a fantastic cast, this film deserved more recognition than it gets.

The news on my finals is that I failed but the good news is I'll be good, as long as I try harder this semester.

Honestly, a little serious note for a sec is, while I still want to write for Rafa, I also am interested in writing for other fandoms. Now don't freak out I won't do it yet. The reason is that the whole purpose of this blog was writing about fandoms that are small, and that don't have enough content, I'm saying this because it seems that my post are only being seen when I tag them with the one Fandom I'm currently writing for, so this is my way to reach out to yall! Specifically, I put one tag that is from that Fandom so yall can go check it out!!

But regarding your ideas for Rafael ABSOLUTELY SEND THEM TO ME😌

LISTEN GUYS I KNOW THAT I HAVE A SHIT TON OF REQUESTS FROM YOU ALL BUT GIVE ME SOME TIME I DONT HAVE INSPIRATION AT THE MOMENT 😭😭
