Battle For Sevastopol Page #6

I will complain to General Petrov.

The order is that she stands on her feet.

We need that for the front.

Give me a hand.

Let me do it.

Higher?

It does not seem particularly heroic.

Smile.

Raise your head.

Be more pleased.

Comrade Commissioner.

Pavlichenko, come!

Come here and admire this.

He is one of the best German snipers,

Otto von Singer.

He'll come for you!

They think you are still alive.

Here's a photo according to intelligence,

lurking somewhere in this area.

I don't want to, Commissioner.

Do you know how important

it is to win this duel?

I am no longer, the best sniper.

The report from the military doctor says,

I am unfit for military service.

This will kill many of your friends.

I cannot!

This is not for me.

I cannot...

Do this for Leonid Kitsenko.

Okay.

Okay...

Please, I need to see the Major General.

Comrade Major General...

What's wrong?

We must evacuate Sergeant Pavlichenko,

as soon as possible.

How about others?

Can evacuation documentation prepared for,

all the people, workers and

security professionals.

I demand it!

Hundreds of dead Germans.

Four times wounded in battle.

Isn't she is a woman, after all.

Isn't she valuable?

Does she not deserve that?

I am a military doctor!

I am a Party worker!

Lyuda, wait...

Lyuda!

Stay clear of the firing line, Soviet citizens!

Lyuda!

Stop this panic!

Boris, I need a break.

Wish we were back in Odessa...

as it were...

Sonia took us to the beach and said,

you'd see me in swimsuit.

Sonia's fish, 'La Traviata',

your parents, the Ring...

The archive...

Wait, you remember the ring?

I always knew, you never give up.

You know we'll have five children.

Wow, five, Boris?

Sonia, she has always wanted

to learn how to cook.

I can fry eggs.

Well, we will all sit,

at the big table.

Yes, everyday.

Every day! With the exception of that

evening when we go to the Opera.

No, Boris. I do not like Opera.

I prefer the cinema.

Quick, we are running out of time.

Gently!

Take your suitcase, you have everything you need.

Boris, are you not coming?

We are ready to dive!

I will take the next steamer.

I am a Jew and will escape Odessa.

No, Boris!

This is an emergency, keep moving!

Boris!

Let me go.

Wait, stop!

Boris!

Lyudmila lived one of the most

terrible pages of this great war.

The defence of Sevastopol

lasted over 250 days,

but the city still had the enemy.

No evacuation was organized

for troops or citizens.

General Petrov and officers from the command,

were evacuated by boats.

The same was done with submarines

and aircrafts in the Caucasus,

with about 3000 people evacuated.

Admiral Oktyabarski, was evacuated on a plane.

Lyuda was saved by a miracle.

Boris rescued a man,

who did not make it.

He gave his passport to Boris and

a possibility of a new life.

Lyuda loved Boris and her friend Masha.

About 80,000 inhabitants defending

Sevastopol remained in the area.

They fought hard against the enemy.

They were all sentenced

to death or captivity.

Lyuda told me often,

that they were all heroes.

Chicago, Illinois 1942

Gentlemen...I'm 25 years old.

And I have killed 309

fascist enemies now.

Do not you think, gentlemen,

you have been riding behind

my back for too long?

We became friends.

From her letters, I know

she did not turn back to the front.

She worked as an instructor

at snipers school.

After the war, Lyuda

finished university.

She was awarded the highest rank:

Hero of the Soviet Union.

Moscow, USSR 1957

She won all that as a diplomat,

a soldier and a woman!

I want to see her son, I have a question for him.

I'm sure he'll look just like her.

Yes, Mr.Khrushchev will wait for that.
