Last few panels unclear. She kidnapped a former first lady?

Oh it's already the time of the year when we start reposting all the "rejected princesses" serie?

It, ah...it did. I may be crying a little now, at the end of it. That's a hell of a story.

She got a song named after her

Oh cool Woody Guthrie wrote a song about her. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IEmOalZOyjU

Sounds like Sniper Wolf. Only you know, real.
coldwargofast
Hate to be the bearer, but every soviet sniper account is wildly embellished by their press. Same as Zaitsev. For propaganda purposes.
Klaaism
Funny thing about the Germans. They were fanatics about keeping records, even the work and deathcamp records that would serve as 1/2
Klaaism
evidence in later warcrime trials. Granted Russian wartime propaganda inflates; however, the Germans recorded her feats as well. 2/2

That was so incredibly told. Thank you

Simo Hayha's still cooler.

All you ppl asking for a Netflix documentary... They did her story on drunk history, pretty accurate
Naseth
LOVE Drunk History, and for some reason Derek Waters is my fetish.
ohdeepthought
I love drunk history, such a great show. I showed it to my dad (he use to read me history books when I was a kid) he really enjoyed it too.
ohdeepthought
To clarify the books he read were books his great uncle wrote and were obscure stories of people in history. Kind of like drunk history.
Bugofbelgium
Most of these wartime hero's, snipers and airplane/tank aces are propaganda inflations. The # of kills is always incredibly dubious.
Samsquantch82
Battle for Sevastopol, starring Yulia Peresild, is a fantastic movie about her. I highly recommend it.
Daruni
I wonder, was she the inspiration behind Ana in Overwatch?
TheManInTheWall

I had the same thought.

Asymtote?
Gavener
Why was the man so pissed in the end, was she force to stay there ?
TheMajesticHarpyEagle
Its the soviet union m8; they're a bit controlling when it comes to state stuff.
Gavener
What I was thinking, more of we will keep you protected, if want it or not, plus a Assassin killing her would hurt moral
Gavener
why the hell did I get a -1 for a question haha
YeGods
I don't know, those last few panels are unclear.
Hutchy01
After the war someone should have introduced her to the White Death just to see what they thought of each other.
SolidSnayke
While she was good, the White Death was amazing. I wonder if there are any similar comics or documentaries about him.
Hutchy01
I suppose with his heroics, injury and recovery they could make a real 'Darkest Hour' Oscar bait film about him

Well, seeing as she was Russian...

Or a drama miniseries. For real.

IanitorHonorabilisCuriaeArcanum
Shit! I'd see this in theaters! What an amazing woman! And yet, I'd not heard her name...thanks @OP :)

Well she was on an episode of drunk history, that's kinda like a documentary
omygusMaker
Drunk History.
3rdweal
I think what is essentially unsourced Soviet propaganda should be looked at in context.
Altanese
And what context should that be?
3rdweal
3) lives, territory and equipment on a mind boggling scale - means that tales of her exploits are likely highly embellished.
Altanese
The Soviet Union DID do that, but we know about the fakes. People who had their feats exaggerated, or even just made up.
3rdweal
Also, not to suggest that an agenda is being pushed here, but she is drawn as a remarkably plump woman for a sniper on the front lines.
aMiu
That is something a Nazi would say
3rdweal
2) she became a poster child for Soviet resistance - at a time when the war was not going terribly well for the Soviets who had already lost
3rdweal
1) While it is reasonable to believe that Lyudmila Pavlichenko did indeed serve as a successful sniper on the Eastern front, the fact that

Always upvote strong women
DangerTrain
I'm sure you mean "strong people", since gender shouldn't color your support of something.
LincLoud
It's better than the female role models around now. There are few of the same quality as the women mentioned above.
XLR87T3
I actually agree. Miley Cyrus and Amber Rose should never be considered role-models for anything and yet they are anyways.
LincLoud
Well who else is there? The strongest role models for women are mostly spoiled rich people.
Seoulsurvivor5772101
Weird form of world view. Strange.
LincLoud
To you perhaps, I respect those who fight for their nations and for those who seek to help others. The common role model now is often a ->
LincLoud
vain celebrity.
Andalite
What do you mean "had enough"? What'd she do?
YeGods
Yeah it reads like the author kind of gave up a few panels before the end.
EggsaretheDevil
These last frames sounded a bit like american propaganda to me. "Oh yeah and don't forget Russia's bad!!"
EggsaretheDevil
Not saying Russia's great or that people had a lot of freedom at the time (and now) but still...
Szemetlada
It looked like they had some official dude there to transcribe the meeting and they ditched him so they could talk freely!
onethousandblankets
Yeah I don't understand the last couple frames at all...

Just because I'm not keen on the artstyle here's Pavlichenko un-tumblrized: https://imgur.c">/9y7nhNh">https://imgur.com/9y7nhNh /JGD4cMk
AmHumanNotLizardMan
The comic makes her look positively fat compared to the photographs. Even in photos of her more recently she is not as chubby as the drawing
realistichorsegonadbehavior
This is from Rejected Princesses. They do everything in a Disney Style.
Altanese
But Didney is filled with skinny bitches
LUCKELEO
Just to point it out more, for the sake of pointing it out. The soviet union, the country this woman fought for. Was just as bad if notworse
TakeItEasyPolicy
The idiot has spoken
giraffesarecoolarentthey
I didn't say anything tho
LUCKELEO
Than Nazi Germany.
Asteroidrules
The USSR was full of corrupt war criminals, but nowhere near on the level of institutional racism and genocide as Nazi Germany.
LUCKELEO
Well yes Germany wanted to kill off all of eastern Europe and had large plans for europe. USSR was still genocidal and raceist towards jews.
LUCKELEO
Poles. Ukraininas. Pretty much everyone in eastern europe was in a lesser class than the avrage Russian worker. Not that they were well off.
Asteroidrules
Racist yes, conducted the industrial mass murder of them no.
LUCKELEO
No they conducted mass genocide for fun on their spare time. Read into the Ukrainian man made famine.
Asteroidrules
That's still not putting 12 million people in camps, conducting cruel human experiments on them, and gassing them en masse.
Harryteeters
Aren't they making a Hollywood movie about her?
Porkyliquid
Already did. But it's make role casted. Movie is "Enemy at the gates"
Poltergeist94
You can just say movie
TheEarthIsBipolar
Why did this get downvoted?
Poltergeist94
Because people don’t understand that it’s an Archer reference
JasmineTwo
Not if he's referring to the Hollywood studio system, rather than foreign, indie, or both.
Poltergeist94
It’s an Archer reference!
JasmineTwo
DaCrazyBeggar
+1 Do one on on "The white Death" Simo Häyhä next.
DangerTrain
White Death wasn't a lady, so it's not "empowering" and doesn't get those "empowerment" upvotes.
SpareMacaroni
These are girls only, rejected princesses is what it's called

Here you go, similar approach. http://www.badassoftheweek.com/hayha.html
EvenStevensEvenSemen
Not a lady, they only do ladies
DaCrazyBeggar
hm, kinda sexist.
NerdN1
It's called "Rejected Princesses." Disney isn't going to add Lady Death to their roster any time soon.
EvenStevensEvenSemen
Not like they add real actual people ever really.
murderousbudgie
Pocahontas was real. Hua Mulan may or may not have been.
numelgon
Sexism would be denying male accomplishments, not choosing to make your comic about women. Different pieces of media have different goals.
Callbox
Hey cheers I'll drink to that.
hellfrogger
This is a much nicer reply (and accurate) than the one that sprang to my mind. Which was simply: moron
ausernamewhat
Borderlands 2 immortalized her as the best sniper rifle in the game.
DarkLordDougie
.
hardlyanydiggity27
Literally just had this sniper drop for me today! It's awesome and helped me get past the Bunker quest easily
Klaaism
And she did all that without a single drop of rum. Also little formal combat sniper training, aside from "on the job".

God, that fuckin sniper
LostCatWantedDeadAndAlive
The female sniper in "Enemy at the Gates" is named after her.

Borderlands are superb games. So enjoyable.
DaierMune
There was a damn good rifle named after her in Destiny, as well.

Really? There are so many things going on in BL2 I didn't notice
Namotatop
Often, the games, movies and tales we find most ridiculous are the ones with the most meaning behind them.
effigyoma
Roland's name was a hint to his eventual fate. Warren Zevon song
SuperGus64
It used to be called the white death in some versions of the game and it can be obtained by farming Gettle in The Dust
ODSTsRule
The white death is Simo Häya, a finnish soldier of the Winter War
AGuyFromHawaii
Depends on region, its either White Death (Simo Hayha), Lyuda Mankiller (Lyudmilla) or Maxim (Maxim Bryskin & Maxim Passar)
HavocCurse
Which was originally called 'White Death' after Simo Häyhä.
ChefCat
No, there are two sniper rifles, they appear on different consoles from the same enemy.
Panteria
Sane weapon though. If had a differ name on the PS3 version for some reason.
ChefCat
My bad, I was wrong.
thedevil
They are the same rifle just different names depending on console or what patch.
HavocCurse
It was called White Death on all platforms. Then a patch changed it to Lyuda on PC and PS3.
RCain
Which one?
TangyGraffiti
http://borderlands.wikia.com/wiki/Lyudmila This one. Was apparently "white death" originally, who happens to be another famous sniper.
RCain
Well now I've gotta spend 4 hours farming this
TangyGraffiti
Good luck, just don't be on 360 or you won't find it.
Matryoshka524
I got the white death on 360 way back when
DaCrazyBeggar
"best" not really but yes, great tribute. after all it has one of the highest rates of fire.
LyraTheLycan
So to clarify, you're saying it isn't the best sniper in the world, it's just a tribute?
ShinkuTear
The Lyudmila is one of the best sniper rifles in BL2, probly top 3 at *worst* and is fairly easy to use and acquire. Fair tribute, IMO.
DocVolt
Bee + that bird flying pattern thing smg is op
Weroleytor
Sandhawk, yeah, it's OP.
LuluTheLucario
Combine it with the Bee shield, and when all three shots landed it could eviscerate bosses in seconds. Still preferred skullmasher at >
LuluTheLucario
Medium ranges. If aimed correctly, though, it can mow down hoards of enemies, like in the bandit camp in the dam.
