For those who wonder; her name is Ludmila Pavlitjenko. If i remember correctly she recived that rifle as a reward together with the award Hero of the soviet union, but she more or less never used it as she prefered her mosin rifle. There's a memoir on her called "Lady Death", if you're interested.

So funny you point out about the rifle because a marksman wouldn't have used a semi-auto rifle, much less accurate and when you're Russian...you're using the Mosin lol
