I was once privileged to have met her (I believe) youngest daughter, who came to the USA for a graduate course that was not available in Russia at that time.
Fwiw, the FAMOUS “girl sniper” was BEAUTIFUL, despite her protestations to the contrary, when she was dressed up at age 28. Lara had a photo of her mother, that was taken at a divisional officer’s reception in the Spring of 1945.

Her spiritual (and perhaps actual lineal) granddaughters haven’t forgotten that there may come a day where every man and woman will again need to fight in defense of their homeland. Something we should probably be teaching our kids in the US but don’t.
