In a film by Sergei Mokritski

Moscow, Vnukovo Airport, 1957

Mr Khrushchev invited Ms Roosevelt

Occasional reception
Of his visit to the USSR.

- In the program...
- Excuse me, Mr. James,

We'll go first to this address.

I remind you that the First Lady
Shall not infringe the protocol.

If we're late, we'll have to ...

We are going to go there.

Nikita Sergeevitch will wait.

A gentleman takes pleasure
To wait for a lady.

Who is able to make wait
Mr. Khrushchev?

I'll introduce you to this woman.

RESISTANCE

I saw Lioudmila
At a student meeting.

She looked like a little girl,

Of a scowling child in uniform.

I wanted to know her a little better
And see his smile.

Fan Wei. I have been fighting for a year.
I killed 8 enemies.

Very good.

Krassavtchenko Nikolai, Head of
The delegation of students, communist.

Enchanted ! The Communists are
Rare guests at the White House.

How many men did you kill?

I am a party official.

Encourage my comrades to the feat
is important !

Yes, it's very important!

Vladimir Pchelintsev. Sniper.
152 killed for 154 bullets.

Great!

Second Lieutenant Lioudmila Pavlichenko.

- Who are you ?
- Elite shooter.

A woman sniper?

How many men did you kill?

No men, but Nazis.

- 309.
- Is it possible ? Is it true ?

What do you feel when you kill?
Where did you learn ?

University of Kiev, 1937

Excuse me !

Excuse me, let me pass!

Liouda! Hooray!

We are admitted. Come see !

US too ! Go to the park !

- Let's go. Are not you happy?
- Yes.

- Come with us !
- No, I'm coming home.

- Well, we'll wait for you there.
- Come without fail!

Faculty of History
Pavlitchenko L.M.

Mom, I can put on your dress
today ?

Today, yes.

I'm going to change and I come to help you.

According to Boudarine,
The war in Spain proved

That the days of the sword were gone.

Vedernikov seizes a saber ...
Fortunately he did not catch up with her.

"I'm waiting for you in the courtyard."
- I'm going to change and we go.

Good morning, Father.

What an accoutrement!
All you need is my jacket.

Bring me the boots.

I am admitted.
First on the list.

Bravo. Congratulations.

You can be proud of me.

Micha, be less hard
With her today.

Dad ! When will you come back?

Do not wait for dinner.

We decided to celebrate my admission.

Celebrate what? You had to be admitted
At university and you are.

- Bravo!
"Father!

Promise me to come back a little sooner.

Liouda!

Dad, come on! Upper,

upper.

Liouda! Liouda!

We are historians
And one must aspire to the truth!

Cinema is a tale,
The firing stand a reality.

At the shooting range everything is for real!

Real ammunition and real weapons.

- Let's go ?
- It smells of powder there.

We do not want your powder.
Cinema is not true, but

The tale must exist in life!

- I'm for the cinema!
- It's passion, love, music.

- And it never ends.
- I'm for shooting.

- Liouda!
"Three against three!"

Wait! Face to the shooting range!
Pile to the movies.

- We bet a beer that it will face?
- I do not want.

So ?

It's face.

Do it faster! We may be able to
The time to go to the cinema!

We're competing!

I also want.

- You'll shoot afterwards.
- I want to participate in the competition.

Show them, Liouda,
To these cinephobes!

Pavlitchenko, do not worry,
Being 4th is good too.

Everyone shoots five bullets. The winner
Will be defined by the number of points.

- Say what to do.
- Take the gun and load it.

Place the ammunition in the charger.

Fire!

Stuck in the Mile!

Aligns the sight and the handlebar
On the target.

Breathe regularly.

Blocks breathing
And gently press the trigger.

Drawn.

Weapons on the table!

Weapons on the table.

Cite your names by articulating well.

- Kolessov!
- Koutsykh!

- Feldman!
- Pavlitchenko!

Pavlitchenko, shooting,
This is not for women.

- We will see !
- In your target,

He can not find a single hole.

The victory comes to Pavlichenko!
47 points out of 50.

Comrade, did you look good?

Go see yourself.

It is good that we are not
Gone to the cinema, huh?

Seen? Well done !

All war ends in peace
Or by a truce.

Then, in 1651 ...

- Excuse me. Pavlichenko.
- Yeah, come on.

- It's me.
"At the rector's." With your business ...

Pavlictchenko, here!

Pavlitchenko Lioudmila. Born in 1916.

Your mother, N. Pavlichenko,
Is an English teacher.

Your father, Mr. Pavlichenko,
Is in the Ministry of the Interior. So ?

Write, write, comrade rector.

Is everything right?

Yes.

You have mastery.
The captain does not lie.

According to the report of the shooting instructor,

You have shown an excellent result
On June 20th at the stand. It's a talent.

You will follow for 6 months
Precision training.

- And my studies?
- The Rectorate is not against it.

You will complete your studies
In six months, okay?

Yes of course. You will come back
And you will complete your studies.

Here.

Can I refuse?

I do not advise you.

- Take your sweater, girl.
- They'll give me one.

What if you do not have one?
Time to arrive. Look, pies.

You will not get any.

Do not you want to tell me?

It's six months.
Micha, for the winter!

Dad may call for any reporter.

Liouda!

You made him a boy all your life.

Why did not you arrest her?

I fought half my life.

War is especially hurting women.
And there will be a war.

We are grateful to America
For the lend-lease program.

But if we want to finish together
With Hitler as soon as possible

You still need to do
A decisive step.

The Soviet delegation asks you
To put the question of the second front

As the main item on the agenda
Of our assembly.

The Soviet people need help
And not of almsgiving!

On behalf of the Soviet delegation,
I beg you to cease the comedy!

We want to help you, is it a comedy?

My money can not be used
Against Hitler?

No whims in your situation.

Why the main member
Of the delegation,

Miss Pavlitchenko or Lady Dead,
do not say anything ?

Liouda! Speak! Pavlitchenko!

We are an assembly of students.

The opening of the second front

The military and politicians.

There was no intention of including
This item on the agenda.

Ms. Roosevelt,
Some think this is the beginning

Of your husband's election campaign.

You want to spend a lifetime
to the White House ?

Would you have bought it?

You do not let
Miss Pavlichenko?

This may affect the decision to send
Of Americans die abroad.

There's something I know.

It's good to have a friend
Ready to arm us.

But it's better when this friend struggles,
Weapons in hand, by our side.

You speak English very well
For a soldier.

Have you been trained for this trip?
Who are you ? Tell the truth.

My mother taught me.
She is an English teacher.

At the University, I studied history.
In Kiev. Then to Odessa.

How are we here?
It's for life !

Odessa, June 1941

The story ! I was thinking about the site of Troy,
To the excavations of mounds!

But what can we find here?
Look, it's horrible!

Slava,

Your documents are ready.

Come on Monday. Goodbye.

Liouda, do you like sailors?

- I like police officers.
- Why ?

I'll call them
If you do nothing for your diploma!

I would like to
a sailor. I would wait for him.

Go to the beach, girls. There is a lot
Sailors, pilots, climbing

And even police officers.
You will be spoiled for choice!

You heard, Liouda, of the police!

Sonia! They do not understand.

It's Friday !
I have to close the archives!

I understand you.
And I'm interested in them.

And you, Sonia, you prefer who?
Sailors or pilots?

- Take a doctor.
- Or ?

I am going to the beach.
My brother Boris will be there.

- He is a doctor.
- He is handsome ?

- Child, he dreamed of being a pilot.
- I want a doctor! Let's go.

You will bury us alive!
We'll be Mendels.

Liouda, we must learn to rest.

Good. We will continue on Monday morning.

Early in the morning!

You know, Liouda, after the operation,
Dr. Kaufmann in person

Said that Boris had hands in gold!
You

That he will soon leave for Kiev.
Or perhaps even for Moscow.

- Stay here !
- It happened once.

- What ?
- A sunburn. Sit down, Macha.

Yes, go sit down. Liouda, and if it was
the war ? Everybody talks about it.

- Pardon us, girls!
- Sincere apologies !

We did not do it on purpose.

We are ready to do anything
forgive.

Macha forgives you. Go ahead, guys.

Macha ... Enchanted, Grisha.

I'm Nikolai.

- What do you read ?
- Quick ! Come back!

We will win and we will come back to celebrate
Our victory. Come !

Macha!

Liouda, who pleases you more,
Kolia or Grisha?

- I did not watch.
- Then look.

Sonia!

Boris!

- Hello !
"Here is my brother Boris."

Macha, we're going to bathe.

- I can sit ?
- Yes.

I recognized you.

What did Sonia tell you about me?

She told me to shave myself,
To put perfume, to cure

My outfit and go to the beach.
And produce good impression on you.

That's all ?

And watching you in the jersey
to realize

That I must marry you urgently.

You realized it?

Boris.

Lyudmila.

- But in fact...
- They're pilots!

It takes time for that.

Yes, it's an interesting book, Liouda.

So it's Liouda! Nice to meet you !

- Macha!
- As promised,

We invite you
To celebrate our victory.

Come on, young man.

I do not agree.
Why be against war?

War will allow us to establish
Justice in the world!

No. Your opinion is very widespread
Today, but I never believed it.

Do not climb on your pins.
There will be no war.

Oh good? I see better from above.
The war has already begun.

You are afraid of
Recognize it and that is your weakness.

- Why ?
"Because you are a coward!"

You want others to defend
The family, the country

And the woman. You can defend
somebody ?

Defend not, but save yes.

I wear a toast! To the balloon!

- To his happy landing.
- Really happy! To the balloon!

Lioudmila, you took the plane?

- Unfortunately no.
- We will have flights ...

Thank you, Nikolai.
Boris, you wanted to invite

Liouda and Macha for lunch with us.

The girls nearly fled!

Sonia, I'd like to see the flights.

Take example on Macha!
Otherwise I might fly away!

Grisha, will you give me a parachute?

Are you a single girl?

Yes.

Where do you live in Kiev?
A flat ? A house ?

- A flat.
- Shared?

- No, we're alone.
- How many pieces ?

Three. Ceiling height 2,90 m,
Wooden floor, 4th floor. And telephone.

You're talking nonsense!

These are not stupid things!

Lioudmila, you thought
The number of children you will have?

How many boys? what is
Important for you in your husband?

That he makes a good living?
That he loves you?

Dad mom ! Do not torture her.

No, it's interesting.
I did not think about it.

The fish will be ready.

Have a comment for Boris?

"I hardly know him."
- I'm going to talk to you about it !

Boris, that's our problem.
He's a very good boy.

All there was in Odessa,
It was given to him.

He graduated from high school.

Entering medical school,
it's something !

"What does Kaufmann say about him?"
"He has hands in gold."

Lioussik, we already know in Kiev!

But it's not important.
My son can make

Happy one who will be with him.

When he meets her,
He will offer her a ring.

Boris, show the ring to Lioudmila!

Do not expect much.
No value. It is not even in gold.

The day Lioussik offered it to me,
He was higher than Deribas.

Another treasure of the family.
Sonia cooks admirably.

I'll tell you a joke!

A grandfather is on the verge
To die in a Jewish family.

He said to a little boy:
"Grandma prepares fish.

"I smell the smell.
Let her bring me a piece. "

Little Fima returns:"Grandmother said
That it was for later. "

You understood ?

Do you understand that?

You laugh ? Turn on the radio.
It started.

What? Say it!

Without declaration of war
To the Soviet Union

The German troops attacked
our country.

Our borders.

What did I say !

They bombed Jitomir, Kiev ...

It is the end.

Sevastopol, Kaunas and others ...

This is not the end.
Hitler has his plans, we ourselves.

Boris, we insist that you invite
Liouda at the theater.

La Traviata is given today.

Shooting has also been opened since
The Romanian and Finnish territories.

What did your father say?

Come on, or we'll be late.

Liouda, you must not.

War is not for women.

It is not for the cowards!

Young people, silence!

Liouda! War is death.
I am a doctor,

I can make you
A special assignment.

You do not have to participate ...

You're right, Boris,

But my father said I should.

I can not stay stuck.
I am ashamed.

And you, can you?

We need me here.
Everyone has to do what they can.

I was trained in precise shooting.

We need me there.

You, Boris, go to the opera.

Liouda! Liouda!

Even light is foreign.
There it is war.

Here they are interested in my lingerie
And the color of my red.

Can you explain that to me?

The President's wife ...

- Nikolai!
"What have you talked about?"

Can you explain?

Ms. Eleanor Roosevelt invited
Miss Pavlitchenko

To live in the White House
During his visit to America.

Only Miss Pavlichenko!

We have a regulation for that?

Until now, no Soviet
At the White House without delegation.

I do not have to go.

It is a chance. Important problems
Are settled at the president's office.

It's better to have someone.

Yes.

You know what, Miss Pavlichenko?

Decide for yourself.

It's going to be hot. You do not want
Renew her wardrobe?

I want her in uniform. The press too.

- You did everything?
- Of course.

I wanted to understand Liouda as a woman.

How can one kill in cold blood
309 men?

Why did she take a gun?
It's not for a woman.

Our journalists called Lioudmila
Lady Death.

I noticed that it hurt her.

She was intelligent and well-bred.
She was beautiful.

But the war came to his house.
She had no choice.

What's more, she had the talent
To become invisible and to aim justly.

Training camp, summer 1941

The shooter must take a
Without being noticed.

To do this, one must know how to
prone.

Drop the back!

Left leg, gun, right leg!

Slide and not drag yourself!

Hand near the grenadi�re.

Killed! Your back is over!

An excellent target for the enemy!

The leg, the arm!
Did not you hear?

Warrant Officer!

How will you fight with that?

What do you have to laugh at?

I see that you do not realize that
The Germans took Jitomir and Riga

And that they are approaching Kiev and Leningrad.

It was believed that war would be easy
And quick victory.

But we are backward! You understand ?
We back off!

And we suffer enormous losses!
Tomorrow these losses will be you.

And you !

Burn all business
Not regulatory!

Not lying down!

Hold on tight ! Stand up !

Faster !

Dig deeper!

Lower your back!

From the outfit, soldiers!

Turn around!

Notify me of changes!

- A stone has disappeared.
- The cross too.

The haystack is moved
5 m to the left.

- The clod has taken the place of the stump.
- That's all ?

The stone is moved to the right
Of one meter.

Not bad. Turn around!

At your positions, fast!

Camouflage outfits.

False. Let us go further.

That's the right position.

Kill !

Interesting, but not very effective.

Kill ! The flowers are not from here.

Comrade Commandant, you are killed.

We'll start shooting when?

Pavlitchenko!
You still want to shoot?

- Affirmative!
- Safe ?

Certain.

In combat !

"Comrade Commandant, go away!"
- Drawn !

You're a sniper, not an artilleryman!

New ! Not bad to start with!

The first five,
To your shooting positions!

Exhaust two batches of ammunition.

Hello !

Take the guys, but not the girls!
They still have to train!

We have just received
munitions.

They have only been trained
Of six months.

- I pity them.
- I pity mine too.

Less than half are left.

Listen, there's a girl ...

Take care, it will be better
than you. Pavlichenko.

Odessa, September 1941

Do not let them approach.
As soon as you see an officer, shoot.

A killed commander equals a half-detachment
kill. Save on ammunition.

Tanks, comrade captain.

There are two ways to stop a tank.

One, throw grenades very close.

And two ?

Pull an anti-armor ammunition
In the vision slit.

Reach the same location twice
For the glass to burst.

Kill the pilot with a 3rd ammo.

It's clear.

Then give me ammunition
anti-shielding.

Air Attack!

Are you hurt? Or ? Some blood.

Here, alcohol.

Stay here.

For the destruction of a tank, the general
Petrov, commander of the 25th Army,

Rewards soldier Pavlitchenko
Of a semi-automatic SVT rifle.

An important role in the destruction
Of the enemy returns to aviation.

Company, fixed!

Private Pavlitchenko,
Get out of alignment!

At your service !

Good!

Pavlitchenko L.M. Mikhailovna?

Your father participated
To civil war?

- Affirmative!
- Well done, Mikhail!

In case of need, address you
To me directly.

- Congratulations, soldier Pavlitchenko!
"Thank you, comrade general!"

comrades

This is my companion's daughter
Of arms to civil war.

Take the example of soldiers
like her.

Say something to the fighters.

I swear not to spare myself
In the fight against the enemy

And to kill a hundred Nazis with this rifle.

Rest, political instructor. Makarov!

Watch out for her. If it looks like
To his father ... Did you understand?

Yes I understood.

A new weapon needs to be adjusted.
There are not two similar rifles.

It is necessary to understand the
of each one.

And take care of it as a woman.

You have a wife,
Comrade Captain?

No, I have no one.

I had one.

I was afraid of getting married.
I had just returned

Of the Winter War in Finland.
I could not believe

That a woman as young and beautiful
Can love me.

At the beginning of the war, I did not know

protect her. I did not have the time.

- Liouda!
- Macha!

- Liouda!
- Macha! Macha!

- At last I found you!
- Where do you come from ?

- Watch out, Macha!
- Liouda!

I have to tell you. We will fight
together. You, me and Grisha.

- Who is Gricha?
- You do not remember?

My pilot, Gricha! He is mine !

And this one, is it yours?

It will be.

Miss, is Russia capable of
To defeat Nazism without our help?

The USSR is currently
The burden of war.

But the Nazi aggression
Is a global misfortune.

And you, you are not an aggressor?
Finland, the Polish lands?

You have thousands of prisons.
You fight your own people.

You have not seen anything with us!
You do not have the right...

I am Russian. It's a miracle
That I left the country in 1928.

I have the right to say so.

gentlemen,

sit down.

The press conference is over.

Thank you for your questions.

Lioudmila, you must lead
The debates in the desired direction.

Know what you're going to talk about
And be assertive.

And insurance starts with a smile.

Be softer, more natural.

Your smile is your main weapon.

I have a hard time talking. It's difficult.

Of course !
You have to train for years!

Smile as long as possible.

Speak clearly, with ease,

Look at your interlocutor
in the eyes.

Relax, Lioudmila.
Go ahead, smile.

Comrade Captain.

- Add three.
- We confirm.

Two Nazis from the outset and the 3rd,
She waited for him. We even bet.

He lit a cigarette, thinking
That he was not seen. She, she fired.

You see, smoking kills. Take it.

Come in the evening to the scouts.

You will be given warmth.

- We're warm here.
"But we are waiting for you."

Then, Liouda,

You will probably
Receive a medal.

Comrade Captain,
You shot at night?

It happened to me.

Once I went hunting
To the Winter War.

Here I find a position
interesting.

If I aim from here,

I can kill three
With one shot.

I hide and I wait.
Pan! It is done !

But I was counted only one.

They did not believe me
Since I only shot once.

Three?

- Filipchuk!
- Yes !

- Where is Pavlitchenko?
- To the right. She changed position.

Come on!

Pavlitchenko! Come here !

Who allowed you to leave your position?

If we were talking in the trench?

Come on, good man! Come on! That's all.

Come on, get up!

- What are you doing, you idiot?
- What?

You showed me how to kill
Three in one.

I would have had 73 without you.

- You could be killed!
- You too.

Hold on. You want to go
By the military tribunal for your follies?

- Take your position.
- At your service.

To the right of the forest,
Near the hole of a bomb ...

Is a wounded fit?
Count me one more!

- Calm down, you idiot!
- I am in pain.

I brought out two of them today.

It makes me 20. No, wait, 21.

Breath. 21.

I have 73 Boches.

I could have had more,
But Makar prevented me.

- Let us land.
- Landing!

Good morning, Liouda.

Hey, Captain!

You sew it yourself?
You have so many women under your orders.

I like to do it myself. It relaxes.

We are ordered to prepare the evacuation
Of the troops in the Crimea.

They will concentrate at the port.
You'll have to protect them.

Right here.

And here.

We're leaving tomorrow.

Are we making Odessa?
We could still defend it.

It is up to the superiors to decide.
I am from Odessa myself.

When I think of the Nazis assembled
Around the Duke, it hurts me.

I will cut here to the battery?

Yes, but take a left.

See you.

Open it! I have no brakes!

Let's drink. In Odessa.

In the city that we ...

To the city where I fell in love.

Yes, in Odessa ...

Oh, there's more fuel!

I do not have ! A second.

You allow ?

Macha, stop, it's an order!

Gricha!

I wanted to be alone with you.

To do what ?

Stopped ! No !

I do not like you.

We are adults. Death lurks around.
We can be killed tomorrow!

You hurt me!

Thank you. No need to save me
as often.

You could have said you had someone.

I said it !

- Forgive me.
- Why ?

- I promised.
- Whose ?

To myself.

Let me help you.

You will not get there.

I can not.

- Because of your wife?
- Because of the war !

- What if you're killed?
"You are a coward, comrade captain!"

We must believe that everything will be all right.

Liouda! You hear me ? Breathe!

A little more.

Forward!

You hear me ?

I had time. I had time.

Makar.

Makar, I love you.

Slowly.

Dors.

Now, everything will be fine.

Boris, Poliakov has a high fever.
He is delirious.

Change the dressing.

Boris, what bandage?

Oh, yes, excuse me.

Comrade military doctor!

I have a personal request.
pavlichenko

Is a soldier of choice. Take care of it.

We take care of everyone.

She is not everyone.

I know it's special.

I love him too. And for a long time.

Then I'm calm.

You'll take care of it.

After that it will be up to her to decide
With whom to stay.

Too bad you,
You have not taken care of it.

Put this in the saucepan
And the bortsch is ready.

No, be softer, more natural.
Borscht.

In the USSR, women do like that.

And in America, they do that.

What a day !

Fear nothing.
Look, it's just a stove.

Forgive me, a concussion.

What happened ?

Buried underground after an explosion,
I stayed there for more than 5 min.

I can only imagine the horror.

Evacuation in Sebastopol, autumn 1941

Here. Eat.

Liouda, I wanted to ask you.

Liouda!

Do not be afraid, my angel.
Do not shake. Everything will be alright.

Gricha is above us!
Look, it's him!

Everything will be alright. Wood.
You will soon see Makar again.

- Do not be afraid.
- How are you ?

- I will be back soon.
- Get up.

- I have to join the army.
- You're no longer a soldier.

Get up. You're handicapped.
You can not go to the front anymore.

You do not understand !

I can not cure you here!

But look after me. Go ahead, take care.

You will be reformed. I am a doctor,
Not a magician.

Defense Sector Headquarters
Of Sevastopol, November 1941

- Good morning, Lioudmila.
- The certificate of my healing.

Glad you have healed.

Come with me. I'll give you some tea.

What have you on your arm? She's with me.

Wait here.

The order of the HQ is not to
Abandon the city.

To hold at all costs.
This is General Petrov.

It returns from the distant lines of defense
And he has probably some remarks to make.

Please, General.

Remote defense lines pass
Today 13 km from Sevastopol.

The city is vulnerable
Artillery fire.

And we can not
Repel the enemy further.

Otherwise the line will stretch and it will
Impossible to defend it.

How to defend the city?
A shotgun shell

By a cannon of a line ship
Touches a field

250 m wide and 1 km deep.

The battleship Commune de Paris
Has twelve cannons.

They could neutralize
The enemy artillery,

But, according to your orders, almost all
Buildings were transferred to the Caucasus.

I consider it necessary for them to return.

My objective is to preserve the fleet.
In these conditions...

Our common objective is
To defend Sebastopol.

The theater of operations is
on the ground.

Your inability or reluctance
For combat in the field

Will kill other sailors!
They do not want to dig trenches,

Camouflage, crawl.
Why not change your uniform?

Our uniform is our pride.

Get to know, comrades.
Sergeant Lioudmila Pavlichenko.

It is God who sends us. A sniper.

Say, in a combat situation,
Who is more likely to survive?

Me, in khaki jacket
Or him in a black jacket?

I would kill the jacket first.
You, I should look for you.

Here.
Thank you, Lioudmila.

Diatchenko!
Write the order to change uniforms!

Ivan Yefimovitch! And my certificate?

If doctors give
The green light, will fight!

Serious injuries?

Will you find him a place?

How many beds do we have?

I want a healing certificate.
Sign.

Sidorenko has a strong blood loss.
It must be amputated with both legs.

Take him to the operating room.

Jouk, lesion of the tissues of the liver.

Joke?

Transfer to N1 Hospital.

Vadim!

Where are they ? Where are we?
Where is Makar?

Look, they're out there.

Liouda!

It's good that you're here.

I promised Makar.

He wanted it to be yours.

What to do ? It's the war.

We must live. We must live.

- Boris!
- Liouda? Where did you go?

- I have to go to the front.
"Do not be angry with me.

You have a concussion,
It will be a crime to send you there. "

- I can not afford it.
- Makarov was killed.

- You hear ?
- Forgive me.

Wait, Boris. You do not understand
That with that, I ...

Suitable for service

Thank you, Boris.

Come in.

I am ready.

Close your eyes.

Do not cheat.

Open.

It's for you.

Close your eyes.

Do not cheat.

Open them.

Too bad that because of this war,
No one sees in you a woman.

For me either,
it's not always the case.

At the beginning of our history with Franklin,
I was so happy.

Intelligent, competent, handsome.

Why did he pay attention to me?
I was not beautiful.

I was a great pole!

But he chose me.

I'm your new commander!
Let's fight!

Macha, you're mad!

Liouda, look what I bring!

I exchanged them for alcohol.

The little one is for me,
The great for you.

- Thank you.
- Thank you.

Me, I will have to crawl on stones
And you lie there.

And we still have to give birth.
So we...

Let's go together next time.

We'll see Grisha. It feels very
Alone since Nikolai was shot down.

- Forgive me.
- It's nothing.

Did you see your new leader?
He is handsome ?

- No.
- He is not beautiful ?

I have not seen it.

What if it was a vioque?

And if he is young,

He will dredge you.

Captain Leonid Kitsenko.
Your new leader. At table.

You are going to have special missions

Disorganization and hunting
To snipers.

- Tomorrow ?
- Yes.

I can remove
The identity plates?

Lioudmila, eat.

Stop.

We're going.

Follow me !

Stop! Stop! Turn around!

Stopped. We are not Nazis.

Why ? They do not deserve
A quick death.

- They killed...
- They do not care, but you ...

Revenge is not a reason
being.

War is death,
But it is also life.

If you find nothing in the name of what
Live, you will be killed.

Never mind. What does that do to you?

I do not want to lose
Still a teammate.

You two, here are your two positions.

Remote shooting.

Listen to your heart.
Pull between two beats.

Look carefully.

The little bird will come out.

Take her, Captain.

- Schnaps.
- Come on.

To the Medal of Grisha!

He flies here and I go there. I the
By-passes. And I pull myself!

They're celebrating.

It's Christmas at home.

"If you do not want to surrender to the Nazi,
The Nazi armed with a rifle

"Your house, your wife and your mother,
Everything we call homeland

"Know that no one can save her
If you do not save it

"Know that no one can kill him
If you do not kill him

"So kill the Nazi,
May the dead be him.

"That in him settles the pain
That in you no one cries

"Kill at least one Nazi!
Kill him as quickly as possible!

"Kill him as many times
That you will see! "

Hitler dreamed of celebrating the New Year
In Sevastopol.

But thanks to our resistance,
The party is with us!

We repelled the enemy
for the second time !

Sevastopol lives!
Sevastopol will live!

Leonid, this is Boris,

My pre-war friend.

- Boris.
"Leonid."

On the occasion of the arrival of the ammunition,

I order the liquidation of 1,500 caisses
Of sparkling wine.

To free the galleries.
To the New Year 1942!

Hurray, comrades!

Wait, do not come out!
I'll get the glasses.

Last time, we drank
Sparkling wine at home.

"Have you known her for a long time?"
"I loved him before the war."

Without it, I would not be here.

- You regret ?
- To be in love?

From being in the war.

No, otherwise I should regret
To fall in love.

Here we meet sometimes. And you ?

You like it ?

Calm down !

What the hell are you?

You only lie with officers?
Bitch!

Instead of fighting,
Beat the Boches.

Happy New Year.

I thought it was different.

Chicago, September 1942

Excuse me, I come without my agent.

Here is my project for you.
These are cigarettes.

A million dollars if I may
To publish your photo.

This man is my agent.

- This one ?
- Yes. Talk to him.

Thank you.

Excuse me for making you wait.
My instrument also kills.

- A good weapon.
- Everyone's his.

Come into my box. No way to talk
right here. I have a surprise for you.

Miss Pavlichenko?

Liouda! Pavlitchenko!

No, but what do you think?
You kidding ? I'm your agent?

Wait! I just have a question.
Listen please.

You think you can find the words

The president renounces his promise
Election and sends our guys to die?

Excuse us. You're welcome.

At the press conference,
I will have questions

And you will not be able to answer.

You are more popular than me,
Miss Pavlichenko.

- How do you like it ?
- Yes.

I dedicate this song to you.
Can I interpret it?

Never has anyone dedicated me to a song.

Sevastopol, spring 1942

I want to give a boy to Grisha.

Macha, are you mad?

I want one of them here.

Grisha is not against it.

- I have news for you.
"What is it, Macha?"

Come on, I'll tell you.

We asked father and mother.
You are being asked to come tomorrow.

- Where to?
- At the wedding. To party.

Miss Liouda! How many have you killed?

- Two.
- It's good.

This is little.

- Miss Liouda! Look!
- Excellent.

I arrive there.
Will you teach me to shoot a rifle?

"And to me too!"
- Of course, but not now.

- Keep practicing.
- I'll be like Liouda!

Warning !

You are late ! Excuse me!

The wedding became a burial.

Grisha was killed.

In his memory!

In his memory.

I do not regret anything. There was some doubt.

War ... You can be killed.

But we decided that together ...
It was not scary.

Together, it's better, Liouda.

We must love.
You have to find a taste for life.

Lionia, I want a son.

You have said that war
It was also a life.

Hello.

Pavlitchenko, what is that?

Will change you.

Let them see that I am a woman.

You are not a woman, but a soldier
Soviet. Do not forget it.

You go to the microphone:Stalin,
A common enemy, the second front.

Without surprises, understood?

At your service.

What have they done to you?

I can not anymore.

The men had to defend you.

Sevastopol, summer 1942

Liouda!

Liouda, I ...

Help ! Help !

Help !

Leonid! Help !

It does not matter ! It's okay, Lionia.

Lionia. Where is Lionia?

He succumbed to his wounds.
Calm down. You hear me ?

I feel guilty.
For you the war is over.

You are reformed. Unsuitable for service.

Who is reformed?

Pavlichenko is not a simple soldier,
It is a symbol impossible to reform.

Leave the hospital!

You want to go through the court? Come on!

This is not a resort
For ex-girlfriends. Did not you read?

The Germans announced his death.
An attack will be launched.

My soldiers will fight
Pronouncing his name.

I will lodge a complaint with General Petrov.

It is her order to put her back on her feet.

We need her on the front.

Let me do it.

She does not look heroic.

Smiling. Raise your head.

A little more cheerfulness.

- Comrade Commissioner.
- Pavlitchenko! Enter.

Here, look.

One of the best German shooters,
Otto Von Singer, wants your skin.

They believed us.
It worked with the picture.

Intelligence has identified it
in this sector.

I can not, Comrade Commissioner.

You know it's important
To win this duel.

He is the best, I am not
more. Here is the certificate

Of Dr. Tchopak.
I am unsuitable for service.

How many of your comrades will he kill?

- I will not be able to.
- You have to. Not for me.

- I will not be able to.
- Not for you.

For Lionia Kitsenko!

Okay.

Okay.

I must see the general,
please.

- Comrade General of Brigade.
- What do you want ?

It is important to evacuate
Sergeant Pavlichenko.

And the others not? We prepare
The evacuation of archives and documents.

I have orders to evacuate only the
Party officials and specialists.

She killed hundreds of Germans,
Was injured 4 times and concussed.

She is finally a woman!
And she did not deserve that?

Evacuation coupon
Tchopak B.

Let me pass.

I'm a military doctor!

I have an evacuation coupon.

- Liouda, wait for me!
- Do not push!

Backward !

Stand back, I said!

Stop the panic!

Boris, wait.

It feels good the sea, huh?
As in Odessa.

When you got to the beach
to tell me

That you must
See me in swimsuit.

Sonia, the fish, La Traviata,
Your parents, your family ring,

- the archives, Mendel.
- Do you remember the ring?

I always knew that one day
I will offer it to you.

You know, we would have had five children.

Five ! Boris!

Sonia would have taught you to cook.

I know how to make dumplings.

We would all gather around a table.

- Everyday.
- Yes.

Exception for evenings
at the Opera.

Boris, I do not like opera.
I prefer cinema.

- Quick ! We're embarking!
- Warning.

Liouda, hold the bag, everything is there.

Boris, what about you?

I'll take the next ship. I am
A Jew from Odessa, I'll get by.

Prepare for an emergency immersion.

Hold on ! Boris! Let me go.

Wait! No, I do not want !

Lioudmila made me discover one
Of the most atrocious pages of war.

The defense of Sebastopol lasted 250 days.
But the city was captured by the enemy.

Neither military nor civilian
evacuated.

General Petrov.
Only two submarines left Sevastopol.

The 1st with the archives of the party,

Confidential documents
And valuables.

The 2nd with 80 officers.

Admiral Oktiabrski was evacuated by plane.

Lioudmila miraculously escaped.

Thanks to the man who did not have time
To ask her in marriage.

He gave her his pass.
The pass of life.

Boris, the man who loved him,
Macha, her friend,

And 100,000 other defenders
And the inhabitants of Sebastopol remained.

One-on-one with the enemy.

Condemned to death and captivity.

Liouda often said
That they were all heroes.

Chicago, September 1942

gentlemen,

I am 25.

I killed 309 Nazi invaders.

Do not you think
That you take refuge

Too long behind me?

We have become friends.

By her letters, I know she is not
Returned to the front.

That she was a shooting instructor.

After the war, she
His university degree.

It was awarded the title
Of Heroes of the USSR.

Moscow, 1957

She won all her wars.
As a soldier,

As a diplomat and as a woman.

I want to see his son.
I'm sure he's like him.

Yes, Mr. Khrushchev can wait.
