Seems to be mixed. Allegedly she existed and the USSR obv used her for propaganda, but the USSR also lied about her being the common representative of the army and often hyped women like her up to appear even more fearsome.
"309 confirmed kills" by I can't find any information saying how those kills were confirmed. Interesting.
Soviet. And I know the true story, they did have lots of them (we talk about many thousands) because they had their party shooting clubs before the war. But very many died on their first mission, and the ones who survived and did well were officially celebrated by unofficially hated (couldn't marry/re-marry unless they hid their past).

its slightly better than bf vaj where they literaly made women up to replace war heros who ACTUALLY fought in the war.
still woke garbage, though
Did the Russians not have an actual good female sniper though?
In all reality? No, they sold Female Snipers as propaganda on how special the USSR is.
