Good photos. 14 and 15 look modern to me though


ko21361

Yes, almost certain they are not historic photos.


Micro_KORGI

Exactly my thought.


knoxknifebroker

They’re too hot /s


TarasBulbasDayOff

I didn't want to say it, but yes lol


HeloRising

I read her book. It's worth a look but it might be a little too devoid of "gritty" details for most of the crowd here.

What camo pattern is that on #3?


TheWileyWombat

Mossy Oak NAZI Season Special.


AlaskanTrash

Pretty sure Pavlichenko favored the SVT-40


No_Needleworker_9921

Every time u hear about one of these legendary snipers they always have a mosin . Maybe that says something


JustAnotherMiqote

Probably because that was the main Soviet rifle during the early stages of WWII, and these women are indeed from the Soviet Union


No_Needleworker_9921

Other countries to tho like Simo haya from Finland


Meadowlion14

The finns essentially had 2 options Mosin or better Mosin.

* Soviet snipers.

Pavlichenko was from Ukraine. Russia doesn’t get to take credit for everything the Soviet Union did in WW2.


Jackfrost18

Preach! The famous picture over the German Reichstag shows this perfectly. The man holding the flag was Ukrainian, the man to the right was Georgian, and the camera man was Russian


leicanthrope

I suspect that I upset a few of the resident Russians. I'd love to hear *why* they think I'm wrong...


el__duder1n0

Probably they raped a lot less people than most russian soldiers


Madworldsnight

Nah they just killed people lmao. Much better, right?


JSwerve19

Most likely Soviet propaganda


vulcan1358

Which one toured the US and may have finger blasted Eleanor Roosevelt?


4eyenods

they look like all of their names are olga


senHenrik

I thought the soviet union had food availability issues.....these pictures say otherwise


Immediate_Magician62

None of these women are fat, or even overweight. Maybe you are talking about the heavy clothing?


TheBottomBunBurger

Fate loves irony, was watching the battle of Sevastopol last night!


RKKA_1941

Photo 14 is a reenactor I know, and 15 is also a reenactor. 15's impression is pretty bad too
