The Angel Makers of are an interesting , no doubt about it. Though the is well-known to the more enthusiastic and buffs, here is the rundown: a nearly two decade spree lasted from #1911 through approximately #1929 in the village of Nagyrév, with the majority of victims being male. Most were by their wives and daughter-in-laws with lethal servings of arsenic-laced food and drink. Experts put the number of at approximately 40, though many estimate the number could have been as high as 300.

From a WSJ article on the subject, "Everybody sees this story differently," says Bela Bodo, a Hungarian-born historian at the University of South Florida in Tampa and author of a detailed study of the case. His own theory is that the poisonings were a "rebellion against a traditional way of life" in an impoverished peasant society traumatized by World War I and abruptly exposed to modern views on marriage and family.”

📲 Born in #1916 Ukraine, Lyudmila Pavlichenko had a rep as a hoydenish little “tomboy.” Which in 1916 simply meant Lyudmila wasn’t into dolls and sewing. Lyudmila’s idea of fun was way more metal. Quite literally. At age 14 Lyudmila worked as a metal grinder in a munitions factory after her family relocated to .

📖 Lyudmila participated in OSOAVIAKhIM, a paramilitary sporting organization which taught youths weapons skills and etiquette. Well, that’s just summer fun in the 🙄. A little jag from down the street would NOT shut his mouth, boasting night and day about his shooting skills. According to the Smithsonian, Lyudmila had enough of the little neighbor boy stating, “I set out to show that a girl could do as well. So I practiced a lot.” And the understatement of c20 goes to Lyudmila Pavlichenko; her practice paid off.

📍Eventually, the gave her an "audition.” And what an audition. Lyudmila was handed a rifle and told rather unceremoniously to kill two enemy downrange if she could manage it. Lyudmila didn’t blink, dropped them both where they stood, and was accepted into the Red Army’s 25th Chapayev Rifle Division.

The work was insanely dangerous, and one had to be more than just careful. Lyudmila had to sit perfectly still for hours to avoid being the victim of her German counterparts. After making a name for herself, Lyudmila was shipped off to the and the battle of .
