Those Ukraine girls really knock me out, they leave the west behind
WillDownvoteForDrinks
A fine piece of propaganda.
BloodiDodi
Ok those stories are showing more and more violent perversion. Definitely not something for kids. Knowing who is in the team behind it ...
KarlderMarder
You know that most of those "russian sniper storys" were a propaganda thing back in the days, right?
Lascassascatfish
Soviet propaganda is strong here
Tumising
Like you guys just eat this shit up because it's a women, Jesus.
BronzeLeaguePro
I like that bit when she shot medics. Which if anyone else did, would be grounds for summary execution. But since they were nazi medics...
Tabwhor3
The book doesn't have illustrations like this just one picture for story...
SuperAssClench
I actually remember a bit of this from when drunk history did it on Elenore Roosevelt.
lintwizard
The latter part of the Presidential special is all I've seen of that show. I need to start punching myself when I forget to watch more.
ArielUnderfoot
Me too. I was just thinking about that
NotaMormonbutlookslikeone
Well not 309 confirmed kills, but she counted 309. I'm fun at parties
TheHarshWinter
Not russian though, Ukrainian. As always, ehhh.
stratojet96
No wonder it was rejected, thats so hardcore!
nickolice396
I love these true story comics...
CelestialDancerChick
They are the best!
balzanya
It would be sweet if they were actually true. There's a bit of embellishment here but I guess it's for the sake of a feel-good story?
CelestialDancerChick
They are the best!
UnpopularOpinionated
Agreed, even though, I'm not objecting thus, it is different from the comics of Wonder women, Super girl and such. Positively different.

Bro why u spamming

WaltoniusBrutiusMaximusIV
309 that you know for a fact that YOU were responsible for. That's incredible
quintusfontane
With propaganda heroes like her, nations tended to overstate their tallies a bit. She could have killed 100 fewer or 100 more. Never know.
FrankBrayman
YOU'RE POWERED UP. GET IN THERE.
iwantablackwidowmovie
ALWAYS upvote Lyudmila Pavlichenko. She is a certified badass.
GrannyGumjob
You say that as if the occasion arises all the time.
Ready2Fire
It doesn't come up too often, but when it does I (and many others) will always upvote her
KimTheGreat
It has come up before on imgur.

I wish it came up more

The author of these stories did a podcast with Stuff You Missed In History Class recently. Good episode.

Ever since I heard a podcast on vocal fry, I can't listen to almost any podcasts. It's dumb (on my part, I mean).
wiggadewah
Howstuffworks.com podcasts are very well produced if you want to try again.
wiggadewah
HowStuffWorks.com has a great variety to chose from. They've been going 6 years now with good hosts.
wiggadewah
Don't bother with the app if you're on Apple though. It keeps crashing. Android works better.

In the last year I have become such a podcast junkie. It's made my daily commute %1000 better. Lemme know if you need recommendations!

SuperBeetle76
I know I'm 8M late, but I really enjoyed OPs post and I could use some podcast recommendations, I like stuff that makes you think.

Reyald
Oh man! I would love recommendations, especially anything on history! :]
blizzardcloudd
99% invisible is fantastic. Song Exploder gives an appreciation for music that I never had before.
EinsteinsFitAsAFiddle
I agree!
adienfire
I need recommendations
RichardSumrall
hardcore history by Dan Carlin. I use podcast addict for Android. It works well.

I pm'ed you some :)
ElytsONE
I'd also like some new podcasts if you can pass them on to me too! Very much appreciated
Artisticmonkey
I would really like some podcast recommendations too!
Terallodaktus
If you could do the same for me (just copy & paste those) that would be lovely. Thank you! :)

Implying deadliest communist woman in warfare as a princess, somewhere Lenin is revolving in his grave.
jimwormmaster
Would that make it a communist revolution?
BorisGaykovich
This comment is vastly underestimated
TheFifthClockwatcher
I don't think everyone is appreciating how funny that is

so fucking happy i found this comment 2 years later. bravo sir

Bravo comrade you gave me a chuckle
HelmutWaldburg
Ahem "the iron curtain dropped" I doubt she lived a healthy life until the 90s. I call bullshit.
tumppu
Look at that photo. She has a double chin, so seems like she really enjoyed the western freedoms...
Flyndaran
Don't know how curtains work, eh? You can move through the area when they rise, not drop.
tumppu

leekyfaucet
"Dropped" as in first fell, or began, not as in it ended.
Asteroidrules
She did pretty well, went back to college, got a degree and worked first as a scientist and later with fellow veterans. Died in 74 though.
OrangeLansquenet
Why are you romanticizing all this awful shit? WHY?
UncleVanya
Which part is awful? Killing Nazis?
OrangeLansquenet
War, i mean, killing the nazis might have been necessary, but, i mean, i don't know, i don't know how much pride there is in that, (1/2)

Well I do know, as my whole family fought, there is lots of pride in that.

Xaoney
I her about her from Borderlands!
GrannyGumjob
Literally every story involves people getting maimed and shit. Like you guys just eat this shit up because it's a women, Jesus.
Trojkan
Finally, someone with common sense. War crimes aren't "hardcore" or "badass".
digitalutopia
They are if they're Nazis.
Trojkan
Imagine being a 17 year old boy being forced to fight for Hitler and then being tortured like this. But they're just nazis, right?
digitalutopia
That's the shitty part about life. Sometimes you just find yourself on the wrong side of history.
GrannyGumjob
She starts shooting peoples legs and shit? Who's the good and who's the bad. I seriously hope you fucks don't make your daughters look up
GrannyGumjob
To these people.
leekyfaucet
The site sorts them by morality. Its tagline is literally "women too awesome, awful, or offbeat for kids movies."
GrannyGumjob
The site sorts them yes, but people still act like they're role models and say they're gonna teach them to their kids. It's just weird.
FayS0ff
Ah, yes, because only morally good, well-behaved women should ever be discussed in history books.
GrannyGumjob
Nice strawman. No, I'm saying people jerk off to violence because it's little known women. People are saying like "MY DAUGHTERS WILL
GrannyGumjob
READ ABOUT THESE HEROS" Like no, half of these women are terrible people. Teach your kids about people who benefited the world.
GrannyGumjob
Also, what do you mean history books. Like in schools or what? Because you can't teach about everyone in a school history book.
FayS0ff
I mean in history books, like the kind you can exchange money for.
JamJarre
Is killing 300 people, most of whom were conscripts, something to consider an achievement?
Gawky
Many soldiers count sniperkills and the success of counter sniping a valuable skill in war
UncleVanya
If they come to your home to burn it to the ground, then yes.
JamJarre
Conscripts, man. Someone who murdered hundreds of people is not a role model
UncleVanya
They weren't people, they were soldiers of the third reich.
FlapTrap
these are overly sensationalized. i also wonder how much is embellishment. dont get me wrong theyre a good starting point but i need sources
FayS0ff
Citations are on the website at the bottom of the entry http://www.rejectedprincesses.com/princesses/lyudmila-pavlichenko
IMayOrMayNotHaveTroubleFindingAndOrChoosingAUsername
I would say simplified rather than sensationalized - read the Wikipedia article about her. It's got sources'n'everything!
Tutor
Then do some research. I bet you have time and access to internet if you're here. I bet it would take just a couple minutes
ThatOneGuyWithTheThingAtThePlace
It is hard to tell a good story if all you say is a laundry list of facts.
grimmia
The site has footnotes
sommarbarn
War's Unwomanly Face by Svetlana Alexievich. Read it recently, many stories like this. Very good book!
internetfox
Stories like these, about Soviet heroes are not far from reading stories of Nazi heroes. Are you shocked? Have you lived under Soviet rule?
digitalutopia
I believe the saying goes: "The enemy of my enemy is my friend. "
internetfox
cold war started soon enough, but some illusions (?) persisted. How is it still fun to wear Soviet military hats, but not so for Nazi ones?
digitalutopia
Well, that's pretty easy - since anti-semitism was one of the core positions of the Nazi party. Since then, it's been embraced by racist /1
digitalutopia
whites, where anti-semitism is but one part of said racism. /2

If anyone is wondering while she was the deadliest female sniper in history, she wasn't the deadliest, that title goes to Finnish sniper 1/5
Tankbutt
dude thats why they said FEMALE sniper.
92663466
Simo Häyhä, who fought for the Finns in the Winter War against Russia, and through out racked up 505 confirmed kills, though it is 2/5
92663466
Believed that his actual kill count could be above 800, this dude was such a badass he didn't he didn't even use a scope, preferring 3/5
92663466
to just use his rifles iron sight. He was so deadly the soviets literally nicknamed him the white death
sanguis4k
his reason for using the iron sight was really quite a brilliant one, it made his silhouette smaller and stopped the light reflections 1/2
sanguis4k
that often got other snipers killed. he even hunted other snipers using that logic, the guy had insanely good eyesight 2/2
SirMackingtosh
I know that's probably the deadliest man I've ever seen, but goddamn if I don't want to pinch his cute little cheeks.
92663466
Here's a Wikipedia article, cause it's reliable, on him. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Simo_H%C3%A4yh%C3%A4

pwnz805
I assume translator?
DerpMeister
Why would she run away from the translator?
pwnz805
I didn't get so much running away as "I wanna catch up with my buddy in private and don't really need proper grammar for us to get across"
pwnz805
Could be bodyguard too- I assume Eleanor Roosevelt may have a number of uniformed men around her for a variety of purposes
TheNameYouLoveToTouchButYouMustntTouch
THANK YOU. That was confusing me.

Oh fuck my bad.

There's another frame missing about her being hurt and playing dead.

NP, OP. Thanks for posting these.

sorry to say this but you also missed a panel between #6 and #7

#7 and #8, he misnumbered the images

there's a gun in destiny named after her, but its a pulse rifle and not a sniper so IDK what kind of research bungie was doing
BlackManedLion
I dunno, still looks pretty sweet, http://destiny.wikia.com/wiki/Lyudmila-D
TheGame21x
"The cold sharpshooter's precision of the Häkke Lyudmila-D is a marvel to behold." It's not even that accurate though...
StatistNo1
In Borderlands 2 is one of the two best sniper rifles named after her.
ExecutorHideo
You're telling me.
TechKiddz
Really? What's it called I want it
Chromedflame
You can still get it from Armsday packages provided it's the gun Banshee sells each week.
TechKiddz
Wait...haha I mean what's it look like and is it available.
Kieron2202
Hakke foundry in ttk, idk if it is still available. Looks boring af just like every other hakke gun. Beige with dark gray rails and hilights
professorpith3
Lyudmila-D
TechKiddz
Can I still get it?
Silvershark
It's a gunsmith weapon, so yes. Look for one with Counterbalance and Handlaid Stock. It fires 4 bullets per burst, and can kill in 2 bursts.
drderpymd
It's Hakke so two bursts of four bullets each. Not really that good but can perform well if you master it.
Silvershark
Only if all 8 bullets hit though, and only on low armor enemies.
