    I think Netfix has a movie based on her.

    Read Snipers Honor by Stephen Hunter. It’s a Bob Lee Swagger novel and covers the female Soviet Snipers.

    Battle for Sevastopol is a movie about her. It is included in Amazon Prime right now. Worth the two hours if you are interested in the subject and can tolerate subtitles. The movies (released in 2015) is either Ukrainian or Russian — not clear to me which.

  4. Zendo Deb Says:

    The movie Battle for Sevastopol is good, but not much of a documentary. It keeps shifting back and forth between Russian, with subtitles, and English.

    <a href="https://www.rejectedprincesses.com/princesses/lyudmila-pavlichenko&quot;?Rejected Princesses ("Well-behaved women seldom make history") has a take on her life which manages to be more accurate than a 2 hour movie.

    You can find my take on her life at this link (video clip from the movie, sort of, and other info.)

    And Pavlichenko was only the most successful/most famous of the women snipers the Soviets deployed. But then she was an expert shot before the war started.

    Rare Historical Photos has a photo of the Female snipers of the 3rd Shock Army, 1st Belorussian Front.

    775 confirmed kills in one photograph

    And Roza Shanina is probably the next-most-famous, mostly because she kept a diary that was published after her death. (She was disemboweled by an artillery shell.)
