    Rest in peace Roza Shanina. With over 50 confirmed kills on Nazi soldiers in the Great Patriotic War, her life was cut short tragically at the age of 20 while defending wounded comrades.

      “The essence of my happiness is fighting for the happiness of others. It’s strange, why is it that in grammar, the word “happiness” can only be singular? That is counter to its meaning, after all. … If it turns necessary to die for the common happiness, then I’m braced to.”

      What a badass.

      Praised for her shooting accuracy, Shanina was capable of precisely hitting enemy personnel and making doublets (two target hits by two rounds fired in quick succession).

      Lmao holy shit just out there firing her bolt-action like it’s semi-auto a full klick out like it’s nothing.
