Love under the endless enemy fire, friendship with
Eleanor Roosevelt, a speech at a conference that
influenced the outcome of World War II, the desire to live

cope with all this?

The plot of the film
The plot of the film is based on real events. The facts mentioned in it are based on the biography
of the legendary Soviet sniper Lyudmila Mikhailovna Pavlichenko.
The Great Patriotic War found Lyudmila, a graduate student of Kiev State University, on a
diploma internship in Odessa. After short-term sniper courses in the first days of the war, she
volunteers to go to the front, becoming a fighter of the 25th Infantry Chapaev Order of Lenin of
the Red Banner Division of the Red Army, and begins her heroic combat path: border battles in
the Moldavian SSR — defense of Odessa — defense from Sevastopol. Having won many personal
victories in duels with Nazi snipers, becoming a living legend, Lyudmila leaves Sevastopol
wounded a few days before its fall.In addition to the battle scenes, much attention in the plot is
paid to the emotional experiences of the characters, a prominent place is occupied by the "love
line" because the director was very concerned about the topic of women in war.
During a tour of American cities organized by Eleanor Roosevelt, Lyudmila Pavlichenko uttered
her famous words in Chicago:
"I'm twenty-five years old. At the front, I have already managed to destroy three hundred and
nine Fascist invaders. Don't you gentlemen think you've been hiding behind my back for too
long?!"
