No matter what, he follows her around, working as a field doctor wherever she goes. The medical student, Chopak back home at Odessa, is madly in love with Lyudmila, but whom she don’t feel the same way for. I can see why this might seem a little unoriginal, compared to the one in the movie where Lyudmila has many men who are interested in her. In real life Pavlichenko (née Belova) was in fact married and even had a son before the outbreak of the war. The inaccuracy in Sevastopol is the fact that Pavlichenko was not married before the war, and the film focuses on romantic relationships between fellow soldiers. But with Sevastopol on the other hand the historical inaccuracies actually adds more emotional depth to its characters, more so than Sniper, which on the other hand is downplaying the importance and the depth of the characters around Kyle. And also the film insinuates that the invasion of Iraq had something to do with 9/11, which of course it didn’t. In real life Chris Kyle was a sadist who enjoyed killing people, and was a pathological liar, while in Sniper he’s portrayed as The American Hero. Like Sniper, Sevastopol did some artistic rewriting of history as well.
She became the very first Soviet citizen to get an invitation to stay at the White House, where she became very good friends with first lady Eleanor Roosevelt.
After this she was send on a tour to the US, in order to convince the American public to open up a second front. It was within two intense years (1941-1942) that she killed over 300 Nazi soldiers. "Battle for Sevastopol" tells the story about the most lethal female sniper in history, Lyudmila Pavlichenko, a history student who enlisted as a sharpshooter right after the outbreak of the war.
If you read my review of that movie, you will see how much I despise that movie and it’s patriotic propaganda message, and how I found it difficult to distance politics from the actual movie itself. It seems like the Russians also wants to show off their top marksman, in the Ukrainian and Russian joint production ”Battle for Sevastopol”, which came out just a few months after the release of “American Sniper”, which deals with the life and death of the American navy seal Chris Kyle, who’s the American marksman with the most confirmed sniper kills.
