Russia’s Deadly Female Snipers Who Terrorised Nazis, Including "Lady Death" With 309 Kills
In June 1941, Nazi Germany invaded the Soviet Union with the intent to conquer and enslave its people. In response, over 2000 Russian women enlisted as snipers in the Soviet army. Digital artist Olga Shirnina is now bringing history to life with vividly colourised photos.
The female sharpshooters who entered the brutal and sordid front lines of WWII became a terror to German soldiers. The most notorious of them all, however, was Lyudmila Pavlichenko – also known as Lady Death. She reportedly killed over 300 Nazis in less than a year of combat, and later went on to train younger snipers. “We mowed down Hitlerites like ripe grain,” she once said, undeniably also referring to her comrades who lodged extensive kill counts of their own.
The newly colourised photos are the work of Russian photo retoucher Olga Shirnina, who goes by the nickname Klimbim and also works as a German translator. Shirnina shows a clear captivation with Russian history, and has also colourised photos of Vladimir Lenin, Josef Stalin, and Nicholas II.

Roza Shanina, her comrade, killed a total of 59 Nazis at the tender age of 16, and was dubbed “the unseen terror of East Prussia”
These women, and over 2000 others, were snipers for the Russian army who enlisted after Germany invaded the Soviet Union in June 1941
“We mowed down Hitlerites like ripe grain,” Pavlichenko once said of the terror the female sharpshooters inflicted on the invading armies
Lady Death later went on to train new snipers after facial wounds from shrapnel took her off of the front lines
Newly colourised photos by Russian digital artist Olga Shirnina make these historical accounts appear shockingly lifelike
Ziba Ganiyeva, of Azeri and Uzbek descent, joined the Russian army at the age of 18, and crossed the front line a total of 16 times
Yevgenia Makeeva, pictured here to the left of Lyudmila Pavlichenko, reportedly killed 68 Nazi German soldiers
Roza Shanina was mortally wounded in East Prussia in 1945 at the age of 20, and her well-kept war diary was later published
Nadezhda Kolesnikov and Lyuba Makarova fought on the Eastern Front during the Soviet Union’s Great Patriotic War era, from 1941 to 1945
Thank you sir.
20 year old Roza is fine.
Some if them are, uh, handsome.
Sad that global bankers are still trying to ethnically cleanse these wonderful people.
The real Holocaust was the systematic murder of the Slavic peoples via marxist dictators.
Still, hats off to the lovely Finnish women who defended their homeland through Lotta Svard.
