What is the issue here?

Mrs.Eleanor Roosevelt has

invited Miss Pavlichenko,

to live in the White House,

during her visit to America.

And only invited Pavlichenko!

Do we have any instructions

on this occasion?

Soviet citizens cannot be in the

White House without a delegation.

I am not going anywhere!

We must hold on to every chance!

Important issues are solved in the presidential premises.

Good to have you with us.

Well...

You know, Miss Pavlichenko...

Take your time and decide wisely!

Next week it will be hot.

We need to update her wardrobe.

She needs a new uniform.

The press like seeing her that way.

Have you done anything?

Of course?

I wanted to understand how Lyuda,

being a woman...

could kill 309 men?

Why carry a firearm?

It is not a woman's job.

Our journalists called her 'Lady Death'.

I noticed, how it stung her.

She was smart and well educated.

She was a beauty!

The war just came to her home,

and she really had no choice.

Especially, she had talent

to be invisible and precise.

Training camps, summer 1941

Sniper's first task:

Get into position and be discreet.

Crawl facing down on your stomach.

Keep your butt down!

Lower!

Move your left foot, hold the rifle

and then move your right foot.

Glide, do not wriggle!

Position yourself on time...

or you are dead!

You'll make an excellent target for the enemy.

Pretty lady!

How will you fight with all this?

Laugh and you are done!

I can see that you don't

believe the Germans...

took Zhitomir, Riga,

Kiev and Leningrad!

We anticipated a short war

and a quick victory.

But we had to withdraw.

And suffered huge losses!

Tomorrow we might suffer greater losses!

Look at you!

All this will be burned.

Do it now!

Faster!

With strength!

Faster.

Come on!

Dig deeper!

Lower your butt and crawl away!

Move quickly, do it together!

Move around!

Report the changes!

A stone disappeared.

Cross too.

The hay-straw is moved to the left.

Within five meters.

The lump is the site of the stump.

Is it?

The stone was moved to the left.

Not bad.

Turn around!

Incorrect! Let's see...

This is the correct position.

She is dead.

Interestingly decision but ineffective.

She is dead. Flowers do not belong in this meadow.

Comrade Major, you are dead,

when do we start?

Lyuda.

Here!

Do you still want to shoot?

Yes!

Are you sure?

I am sure of it.

Position!

Comrade Major, move away.

Shoot.

You are a sniper, not an artilleryman.

Not bad for a starter,

not bad at all.

The first five on the

defensive line, shoot!

All set to fire dual ammunition?

I want a clear report!

Conscript the men, leave the girls behind.

They have a lot to learn.

They haven't even fired once,

all they do is supply bullets.

All have passed a course on shooting.

For six years, they have shot there.

May God show mercy.

I'm sorry, too!

They are half way through.

Listen,

You will have a protection detail in January.

You will be with soldier...Pavlichenko.

Odessa, September 1941.

Do not get too close.

When you see an officer, shoot!

You will kill the commander,

if he fires at the squad.

Conserve ammunition. Questions?

And the tanks, Captain?

The tanks can be stopped in two ways.

First with grenades from a short range,

And number two?

number two...

Arrow slit the tank with

armor-piercing rounds.

Shoot twice at the same spot

and the glass will crack.

The third shot, kill the driver.

Understood.

Captain, give me a forward flank position.

Bombers!

Are you hurt? Are you hurt?

Is that your blood?

Take a swig...here.

Wait here.

She destroyed tanks, Major General Petrov,

Commander 25 Chapaevsk division,

We have personally assigned a semi-automatic

SVT rifle to Pavlichenko.

Aviation had a separate role

in wiping out Vrazhites troops.

Squad, attention!

Is soldier Pavlichenko here?

Yes!

Ah!

Pavlichenko, Mikhailovna?

Your father is Michael Yulievich?

He fought in the Civil War?

Yes!

Misha is our hero!

Well...

If you need anything, let me know.

Congratulations, Pavlichenko!

Thank you, General.

Comrades!

This is my comrade's daughter

from the Civil War.

See her as a role model!

Come, say something to our soldiers.

I swear...

to protect our motherland in

this fight against the enemy.

To kill a 100 fascists with this gun!

Dismiss them, Commander.

Dismissed!

Makarov.

Keep an eye out for her, if she

follows the path of her father...

You understand, right?

Yes.

You should always have

a new tactic against him.

Never the same rifle.

Each rifle has a character.

You need to understand and handle

the rifle as you would your wife.

Do you have a wife, Captain?

No, I do not.

I had a wife, once.

At first I was afraid to marry.

It was during the battle in Finland,

I could not believe a person would long so much for me.

At the beginning of the war...

we could not sustain the effort.

I was afraid.

Lyuda!

Masha.

Lyuda!

Masha!

Finally I found you!

I have so much to tell you.

We will fight together, me, you and Grisha.

Who is this Grisha?

Don't you remember?

My pilot Grisha.

Grisha is mine!

And is he yours?

Will be soon.

Miss Pavlichenko, what do you think,

Russia can win over Fascism

without our help?

The Soviet Union now carries

the main burden of the war.

With the fascist aggression

the world is in trouble.

You are the aggressor!

Finland and now the Polish occupation!

The increase in prison camps in the Soviet Union.

You are even fighting against your own people!

You have not seen how we lived before.

And you have no right...

I am a Russian!

And miraculously escaped Russia in 1928.

I have every right to talk about it.

Gentlemen!

Do...do sit down.

My apologies, but the press conference is now over.

Thank you for all your questions.

Lyudmila, your mistake is that you should look

at the discussion in the direction you need.

Always begin, knowing precisely what you

are going to say and always be confident.

And obviously come with a smile.

More softly...naturally.

The smile is your main weapon.

It's hard, to talk like that...

Of course it is hard.

It takes years of practice.

And you must hold that smile, long as you can.

Speak loudly, confidently.

And always look the person directly in the eye.

Learn to relax...

Captain, get three more.

Odessa, September 1941.

Get more snipers.

Confirmed from the captain,

two have been selected.

Waiting on the third.

We discussed among ourselves.

The Germans do not expect a smoke screen.

She shoots and we climb up, here.

I can see how effective this could be.

Good!

Lyuda, see this through with a sharp mind.

We will be met with warmth and care.

We are taking the heat right now.

We will wait outside.

There Lyuda,

you won a dog-tag.

Captain...have you had moments so successful?

I have had my moments.

I remember in Finland, was out sniping.

Was on duty in an interesting

position when it occurred.

If the objective from that position, is to...
