Moscow Vnukovo Airport, 1957

Mr.Khrushchev has invited

Mrs.Eleanor Roosevelt,

to a solemn reception in honor of

her arrival in the Soviet Union.

The program...

Excuse me, Mr.James.

First, we will go to this address.

I must remind you that the former

First Lady of the United States,

can not violate protocol.

We shall go!

Nikita Sergeyevich can wait.

It is a pleasure for a gentleman

to wait for a lady.

And who is this mysterious stranger,

Mr.Khrushchev would wait for?

I shall introduce you to this woman.

Battle of Sevastopol

I first saw Lyuda in 1942,

at a student assembly...

International Students Antifascist Assembly, 1942

She looked like a child dressed in uniform.

I wanted to know her closely, to see her smile.

Fang Hui killed eight enemies.

Excellent.

Nikolai Prokofievich, lead the

Soviet student delegation.

Communists.

I am very pleased.

Communists in the White House are rare.

And how many of the enemy

have you killed?

I am a party worker.

I prepare comrades for great acts.

It is very important!

Party worker. I prepare my comrades for great acts.

It's an important job.

Very good, very important.

Vladimir Pchelintsev sniper.

152 in 154 shots.

Ah! Excellent...

2nd Lieutenant, Lyuda Pavlichenko.

And who are you?

I am a sniper.

A woman sniper?!

And how many men have you killed?

Not men, Fascists.

Three hundred and nine.

What do you feel when you kill?

Kiev State University , 1937

Excuse me.

Excuse me, let me pass.

Lyuda! Hurray!

Get over here!

Come here!

We have been accepted!

Let's go to the park!

Come on, why not enjoy it?

No, I can't.

What's wrong? Come to the park!

No, I want to go home.

Wait for us there.

Be sure to be there!

Hooray!

University Teachers Roll:

1. LM Pavlichenko.

Mother.

Mother, may I wear your dress?

Yes you may, for today!

If you would like to switch,

I will help you.

A Budarin said in the

Spanish war, it shows...

the art of the long lost sword, lives!

Vigernikov grabbed the sword,

and chased him down!

This did not happen!

I'll wait outside.

Camouflage goes wherever you go.

Hello Father.

Where were you?

However you may be dressed.

Bring me my boots.

I was accepted.

First on the list!

Bravo, congratulations.

You can be proud of me for once.

Misha...be gentle with her today.

Father! When will you be back?

Father?

Do not wait for me, for dinner.

We invited the neighbors.

To celebrate my admission!

To celebrate what?

I need to leave now.

Bravo!

Father!

It will be a law, to be released soon.

Lyuda?

Lyuda!

We are now historians.

We must strive for the truth.

Cinema is an adventure,

and film the truth.

Thank you!

Welcome.

Not just shooting, everything is real.

The cartridges are genuine,

the guns are real.

Shall we?

The smell of gunpowder.

Why do we smell the gunpowder then?

It cannot be true!

It must be an adventure. You promised me!

And I'm into cinema and country music...

Definitely!

I will shoot for it.

Lyuda?!

Three out of three?

Stop! Let me suggest a toss!

Tails:
We shoot...

Heads:
Head to the cinema.

A wager would end this.

I do not want it.

What was it?

Well?

Tails.

Cmon Mota!

Shoot quick.

We should hit the cinema!

It's not just a shooting competition.

I like that as well.

So you want to shoot?

No, I want to compete.

Okay, let them see it.

Cmon, stop flirting so much!

Pavlichenko, don't worry.

Fourth place will also be honored.

Each of you has five shots.

The winner is determined by points.

Could you teach me how?

Take the gun.

Load!

Insert the cartridge into the magazine.

Fire!

Concentrate and aim on the target,

breathe slowly...

Hold your breath and

gently press the trigger.

Then...fire.

Place the guns on the table!

Place the gun on the table.

Shout your family names,

loud and clear!

Kolesov.

Curzio.

Feldman.

Pavlichenko!

Pavlichenko, shooting is not a women's job.

Let's see about that!

Look the target has no holes!

The winner is Pavlichenko.

47 out of 50 points.

Captain, did you check really well?

You just saw it.

Feldman, what now?

We don't go to the cinema, now?

With you, I always win!

Every war ends with peace or ceasefire.

In 1651...

Excuse me, Pavlichenko.

Yes?

The Headmaster...

Take your things in your satchel.

Pavlichenko!

Here.

Lyuda Mikhailovna Pavlichenko born 1916,

Mother, N.D.Pavlichenko, English teacher.

Father, N.S.Pavlichenko, NKVD Major.

Write it down, Rector.

Is that everything?

Exactly.

You were in control.

The captain did not lie.

According to the report by Kovalchuk,

shooting instructor on June 20...

You showed excellent shooting skills.

You have talent.

We've decided to send you to a 6 month training.

Congratulations!

A training?

Yes a training.

I think the main thought

is not against it.

After six months, you will side to a 'Yes', correct?

Yes of course.

Will return to righteousness.

So you understand?

And if I reject it?

I recommend you do not

jump to that conclusion.

Take at least a sweater.

They will provide us everything.

What if I give you something?

Here's a small pie.

I will give it anyway.

Will you not tell me anything?

It's half a year!

Misha, the winter!

Call your father and I'll bring it.

Lyuda!

Life made her hard, so you know what happened.

What stopped you?

Half of my life I have struggled.

During the war, women brace on the worst.

And soon there will be another war.

We are thankful for the

US loan and rental program,

but if America wants to defeat

Hitler as quickly as possible,

then you need to take a decisive stand.

The Soviet delegation asks

to bring up the issue

to open a second front,

as the main topic of the Assembly.

Here.

The Soviet people need help,

but do not need alms.

So on behalf of the

Soviet delegation,

I will ask you to end this ugly joke immediately!

People want to help,

and you call it a joke?

My money is not good enough for fighting Hitler?

Someone in your position,

drum up any amount of support.

Why make it the main cause of the delegation?

Miss Pavlichenko, Lady Death?

Lyuda speak!

Pavlichenko?

We the students Assembly, agree...

To bring the opening

of the second front...

that the area of concern for

politicians and the miltarymen.

To bring it on to the agenda

is not our plan.

Mrs.Roosevelt, many of us

have a feeling,

This is the beginning of the next

election campaign for your husband.

Are you planning to spend your

entire life in the White House?

And why not let us

ask Miss Pavlichenko?

It can affect the Americans, they will

shed their blood on foreign soil.

I know one thing for sure, it is useful to

have friends, who can give you weapons.

Even better, when you have

friends who would take,
