          Female Soviet sniper during WWII

          Tania Chernova (1920? – c. 2015?) was a Russian-American woman known for serving in the Red Army as a sniper during World War II.

          She traveled to Belarus to get her grandparents out of Russia, but upon arriving learned that German invaders had already killed them. After that, she joined the Soviet resistance on the Eastern Front, becoming an effective sniper.

          World War II

          Chernova and her group went to Stalingrad by traveling through the sewer system to reach the Russian lines. After that, she joined Vasily Zaitsev's sniper school and trained as a sniper.

          The group of snipers that Zaitsev formed was called "The Hares". Chernova participated in a raid on a German headquarters after which she and the rest of the Hares claimed to have killed Germans by picking off guards one by one. Tania claimed she had killed 24 soldiers.

          Chernova and Zaitsev developed a relationship during the war, but were later separated.[1]
