Origin[]
Lyudmila Mikhailovna Pavlichenko (12 July 1916 – 10 October 1974) was a Soviet sniper in the Red Army during World War II. She is credited with killing 309 enemy combatants. She served in the Red Army during the siege of Odessa and the siege of Sevastopol, during the early stages of the fighting on the Eastern Front. Pavlichenko fought for about 2 1⁄2 months during the Siege of Odessa and is credited with killing 187 soldiers. On the Crimean Peninsula at Sevastopol, she trained other snipers, who were credited with killing over 100 Axis soldiers during the battle. Her score of 309 kills likely places her within the top five snipers of all time, but her kills may be significantly more numerous, as a confirmed kill has to be witnessed by a third party.
After she was injured in battle by a mortar shell, she was evacuated to Moscow. After she recovered from her injuries, she trained other Red Army snipers and was a public spokeswoman for the Red Army. In 1942, she toured the United States, Canada, and the United Kingdom. When she visited the United States, she became the first Soviet citizen to be received by a US president, as Franklin D. Roosevelt welcomed her to the White House. Pavlichenko was later invited by First Lady Eleanor Roosevelt to tour the US, relating her experiences as a female soldier on the front lines. During the publicity tour, Pavlichenko was not taken seriously by the press and was referred to as the "Girl Sniper." The United States government presented her with a Colt semi-automatic pistol. In Toronto, Ontario, she was presented a Winchester Model 70 rifle equipped with a Weaver telescopic sight, now on display at the Central Armed Forces Museum in Moscow.
Effects[]
Looking through the scope shows an enemy (either physical or in an ideological stance) through the viewpoint of their weaker attributes. Will never avoid anything unfavorable or lose focus, always viewing what can be agitated to make the target collapse or perish.
