Description
In June 1941, when Hitler launched Operation Barbarossa, Lyudmila Pavlichenko left her university studies and ignored the offer of a position as a nurse to become one of Soviet Russia's 2,000 female snipers. Less than a year later, she had 309 recorded kills, including 29 enemy sniper kills. She was withdrawn from active duty after being injured. She was also regarded as a key heroic figure for the war effort.
She spoke at rallies in Canada and the US, and the folk singer Woody Guthrie wrote a song, "Killed By A Gun", about her exploits. Her US trip included a tour of the White House with FDR. In November 1942, she visited Coventry and accepted donations of £4,516 from Coventry workers to pay for three X-ray units for the Red Army. She also visited a Birmingham factory as part of her fundraising tour. She never returned to combat but trained other snipers. After the war, she finished her education at Kiev University and began a career as a historian. She died on October 10, 1974, at age 58, and was buried in Moscow's Novodevichy Cemetery.

Excellent listen
I found this book after listening to Kate Quinn’s The Diamond Eye, historical fiction inspired by Lyudmila’s story. I enjoyed the autobiography so much more, so authentic. Includes her trip to the USA, and what really happened. Great insights into Soviet psychology. Highly recommended.

Lady Death’s story should inspire young girls to reach for higher levels in education, technology, social justice and diplomacy.
I particularly enjoyed her response to the shallowness of the questions put to her regarding fashion by the reporters, and her love for her country rather than wealth.
