Roza Georgiyevna Shanina[a] (Russian: Ро́за Гео́ргиевна Ша́нина, IPA: ['rozə 'ʂanʲɪnə]; 3 April 1924 – 28 January 1945) was a Soviet sniper during World War II, credited with fifty-four confirmed hits, including twelve soldiers during the Battle of Vilnius. Praised for her shooting accuracy, Shanina was capable of precisely hitting moving enemy personnel and firing two rounds in quick succession at different targets. She volunteered to serve as a marksman on the front line.

Allied newspapers described Shanina as "the unseen terror of East Prussia". She became the first Soviet female sniper to be awarded the Order of Glory and was the first servicewoman of the 3rd Belorussian Front to receive it. Shanina was killed in action during the East Prussian Offensive while shielding the severely wounded commander of an artillery unit.

Early life

Roza Shanina was born on 3 April 1924 in the Russian village of Yedma in the Ustyansky District of Arkhangelsk Oblast. He mother was Anna Alexeyevna Shanina, a kolkhoz (collective farm) milkmaid, and her father was Georgiy (Yegor) Mikhailovich Shanin, a logger who had been disabled by a wound received during World War I.[2] Roza was reportedly named after the Marxist revolutionary Rosa Luxemburg[3] and had six siblings: one sister Yuliya and five brothers; Mikhail, Fyodor, Sergei, Pavel and Marat. The Shanins also raised three orphans.[4] Roza was above average height, with light brown hair and blue eyes, and spoke in a Northern Russian dialect.[5] After finishing four classes of elementary school in Yedma, Shanina continued her education in the village of Bereznik. As there was no school transport at the time, when she was in grades five through seven Roza had to walk 13 kilometres (8.1 mi) to Bereznik to attend middle school.[2] On Saturdays, Shanina again went to Bereznik to take care of her ill aunt Agnia Borisova.[4]

At the age of fourteen, Shanina, against her parents' wishes, apparently walked 200 kilometres (120 mi) across the subarctic taiga to the rail station and travelled to Arkhangelsk to study at the college there[5] (although Russian author Yelena Gordeyeva considers the trek a likely Soviet biographic exaggeration).[6] Shanina left home with little money and almost no possessions;[7] and before moving to the college dormitory she lived with her elder brother Fyodor.[7] Later in her combat diary Shanina wrote about Arkhangelsk's stadium Dinamo, and the cinemas, Ars and Pobeda.[5] Shanina's friend Anna Samsonova remembered that Roza sometimes returned from her friends in Ustyansky District to her college dormitory between 2:00 and 3:00 am. As the doors were locked by that time, the other students tied several bedsheets together to help Roza climb into her room.[8] In 1938, Shanina became a member of the communist youth movement Komsomol.[9]

Two years later, Soviet secondary education institutes introduced tuition fees, and the scholarship fund was cut.[10] Shanina received little financial support from home and on 11 September 1941, she took a job in kindergarten №2 (lately known as Beryozka) in Arkhangelsk, with which she was offered a free apartment.[10] She studied in the evenings and worked in the kindergarten during the daytime. The children liked Shanina and their parents appreciated her.[7] Amidst the backdrop of World War II, Shanina graduated from college in the 1941–42 academic year.[11]

Tour of duty

Shanina in November 1944, wearing a male-issue wool field shirt and woollen skirt. The shirt was khaki, while the skirt was dark blue.[12]

Following the German invasion of the Soviet Union, Arkhangelsk was bombed by the Luftwaffe, and Shanina and other members of the population were involved in firefighting and mounted voluntary vigils on rooftops to protect the kindergarten.[6] Shanina's two elder brothers had volunteered for the military. In December 1941, a death notification was received for her 19 year-old brother Mikhail, who had died during the Siege of Leningrad. In response, Shanina went to the military commissariat to ask for permission to serve.[2] Two more of Shanina's brothers died in the war.[10] At that time the Soviet Union had begun deploying female snipers because they had flexible limbs, and it was believed that they were patient and cunning. They were also thought to be more resilient than men under combat stress, and more resistant to cold.[13] In February 1942, Soviet women between the ages of 16 and 45 became eligible for the military draft,[14] but Shanina was not drafted that month as the military commissariat wanted to spare her the war fate.[15] She first learned to shoot at a shooting range.[15] On 22 June 1943, while still living in the dormitory, Shanina was accepted into the Vsevobuch program for universal military training. After Shanina's several applications, the military commissariat finally allowed her to enrol in the Central Female Sniper Academy,[5] where she met Aleksandra "Sasha" Yekimova and Kaleriya "Kalya" Petrova, who became her closest friends, with Shanina calling them the "vagrant three" (of the three only Petrova would survive the war).[5] Shanina scored highly in training and graduated from the academy with honours.[16]

On 2 April 1944, Shanina joined the 184th Rifle Division, where a separate female sniper platoon had been formed. Shanina was appointed a commander of that platoon.[10] Three days later, southeast of Vitebsk, Shanina killed her first German soldier. In Shanina's own words, recorded by an anonymous author, her legs gave way upon that first kill and she slid down into the trench, saying, "I've killed a man."[17] Concerned, the other women ran up saying, "That was a fascist you finished off!"[17] Seven months later, Shanina wrote in her diary that she was now killing the enemy in cold blood and saw the meaning of her life in her actions.[5] She wrote that if she had to do everything over again, she would still strive to enter the sniper academy and would go to the front again.[18]

For her actions in the battle for the village of Kozyi Gory (Smolensk Oblast), Shanina was awarded the 3rd Class Order of Glory on 17 April 1944. She became the first Soviet female sniper and the first servicewoman of the 3rd Belorussian Front to receive that order.[19][20] According to Major Degtyarev—the commander of the 1138th Rifle Regiment—between 6–11 April Shanina killed 13 enemy soldiers while subjected to artillery and machine gun fire.[9] By May 1944, she was credited with 17 confirmed enemy kills,[5] and was praised as a precise and brave soldier.[10] On 9 June 1944, Shanina's portrait was featured on the front page of the Soviet newspaper Unichtozhim Vraga.[5]

When the Operation Bagration commenced in the Vitebsk region on 22 June 1944, it was decided that female snipers would be withdrawn. They voluntarily continued to support the advancing infantry,[19] and despite the Soviet policy of sparing snipers, Shanina asked to be sent to the front line.[21] Although her request was refused, she went anyway. Shanina was later sanctioned for going to the front line without permission, but did not face a court martial.[22] She wanted to be attached to a battalion or a reconnaissance company, turning to the commander of the 5th Army, Nikolai Krylov, and she even wrote twice wrote to Joseph Stalin with the same request.[23]

From 26 to 28 June 1944, Shanina participated in the elimination of the encircled German troops near Vitebsk.[24] From 8 to 13 July, Shanina and her sisters-in-arms participated in the struggle for Vilnius,[10] which had been under German occupation since 24 June 1941. Around August 1944, Shanina managed to capture three Germans.[5]

From her time at the military academy, Shanina became known for her ability to fire two rounds in quick succession at different targets.[6] Shanina was also capable of precisely hitting moving enemy personnel.[25] During one period she crawled through a muddy communications trench each day at dawn to a specially camouflaged pit which overlooked German-controlled territory.[26] She wrote, "the unconditional requirement—to outwit the enemy and kill him—became an irrevocable law of my hunt".[27] Shanina successfully used counter-sniper tactics against a German cuckoo sniper hidden in a tree, by waiting until dusk when the space between the tree branches would be backlit by sunlight and the sniper's nest became visible.[28] On one occasion, Shanina also made use of selective fire from a submachine gun.[25]

Diary

One of Shanina's notebooks

Shanina enjoyed writing and would often send letters to her home village and to her friends in Arkhangelsk.[17] She started writing a combat diary; although diaries were strictly prohibited in the Soviet military,[29] there were some furtive exceptions (such as The Front Diary of Izrael Kukuyev and The Chronicle of War of Muzagit Hayrutdinov).[30][31] To preserve military secrecy, Shanina termed the killed and wounded "blacks" and "reds" respectively in her diary.[21] Shanina kept the diary from 6 October 1944 to 24 January 1945.[32]

After Shanina's death, the diary, consisting of three thick notebooks, was kept by the war correspondent Pyotr Molchanov for twenty years in Kiev.[33] An abridged version was published in the magazine Yunost in 1965, and the diary was transferred to the Regional Museum of Arkhangelsk Oblast.[33] Several of Shanina's letters and some data from her sniper log have also been published.[34]

East Prussia

In August 1944 advancing Soviet troops had reached the borders of East Prussia and by 31 August Shanina's battle count reached 42 kills.[5] The following month the Šešupė River was crossed. In September 1944, two Canadian newspapers, the Ottawa Citizen and Leader-Post, reported that according to an official dispatch from the Šešupė River front, Shanina killed five Germans in one day as she crouched in a sniper hideout.[26] Later that month her sniper tally had reached 46 kills,[26][35] of which 15 were made on German soil and seven during an offensive.[36] On 17 September, Unichtozhim Vraga credited Shanina with 51 hits.[19] In the third quarter of 1944, Shanina was given a short furlough and visited Arkhangelsk. She returned to the front on October 17 for one day, and later received an honourable certificate from the Central Committee of Komsomol.[5] On 16 September 1944, Shanina was awarded the Order of Glory 2nd Class for her bravery in battle.[24] On 26 October she became eligible for the Order of Glory 1st Class for her actions in a battle near Schlossberg (called Pillkallen in Soviet war-era sources, now Dobrovolsk), but ultimately received the Medal for Courage instead.[37] In that battle Shanina, who served as an assistant platoon commander, was ordered to commit the female snipers to combat.[37]

On 12 December 1944, an enemy sniper shot Shanina in her right shoulder. She wrote in her diary that she had not felt the pain; "the shoulder was just scalded with something hot."[5] Although the injury, which Shanina described as "two small holes", seemed minor to her, she needed an operation and was incapacitated for several days.[5] She reported in her diary that the previous day she had a prophetic dream in which she was wounded in exactly the same place.[5] On 27 December 1944, Shanina was among the first female snipers to be awarded the Medal for Courage[21][38] for bravery displayed during a German counter-offensive on 26 October.

Krylov formally allowed Shanina to participate in front line combat on 8 January 1945. Five days later, the Soviets launched the East Prussian Offensive, which prompted heavy fighting in East Prussia. By 15 January, travelling with divisional logistics, Shanina reached the East Prussian town of Eydtkuhnen (now Chernyshevskoye), where she used white military camouflage.[5] She joined the infantry offensive despite enemy fire from rocket mortars. Several days later, she experienced friendly fire from a Katyusha rocket launcher and wrote in her diary, "Now I understand why the Germans are so afraid of Katyushas. What a fire!"[5] At the border of East Prussia, Shanina killed 26 enemy soldiers.[22] The last unit she served in was the 144th Rifle Division. According to the Book of Memory of Arkhangelsk Oblast, Shanina served in the 205th Special Motorized Rifle Battalion of that division.[39] Shanina had hoped to go to university after the war, or if that was not possible, to raise orphans.[5] She wrote her last diary entry on 24 January 1945, four days before her death. It reports tough German resistance and an inability to shoot due to the heavy enemy fire.[40]

In the course of her tour of duty Shanina was mentioned in despatches several times. Her final sniper tally reached fifty-four confirmed kills,[41][42] including twelve kills during the Battle of Vilnius.[43] Domestically her achievements were acknowledged particularly by the war correspondent Ilya Ehrenburg[44] and in the newspaper Krasnaya Zvezda, which said that Shanina was one of the best snipers in her unit and that even veteran soldiers were inferior to her in shooting accuracy.[45] Shanina's exploits were also reported in the Western press, particularly in American newspapers, where she was called "the unseen terror of East Prussia".[26][46] She paid no special attention to her popularity, and once wrote that she had been overrated. On 16 January 1945 Shanina wrote in her combat diary: "What I've actually done? No more than I have to as a Soviet man, having stood up to defend the motherland."[10] She also wrote, "The essence of my happiness is fighting for the happiness of others. It's strange, why is it that in grammar, the word "happiness" can only be singular? That is counter to its meaning, after all. ... If it turns necessary to die for the common happiness, then I'm ready to."[18]

Death

In the face of the East Prussian Offensive, the Germans tried to strengthen the localities they controlled. In a diary entry dated 16 January 1945, Shanina wrote that despite her wish to be in a safer place, some unknown force was drawing her to the front line.[47] In the same entry she wrote that she had no fear and that she had even agreed to go "to a melee combat". The next day, Shanina wrote in a letter that she thought she might die soon because her battalion had lost 72 out of 78 people.[10] Her last diary entry reports that German fire had become so intense that the Soviet troops, including herself, had sheltered inside self-propelled guns.[5] Shortly afterwards, Shanina was severely injured while shielding a wounded officer. She was found by two soldiers with her internal organs on her chest, which had been torn open by a shell fragment.[48] Despite attempts to save her, on 28 January 1945 Shanina died[48] near the Richau estate (later known as the Soviet settlement of Telmanovka), 3 kilometres (1.9 mi) southeast of the East Prussian village of Ilmsdorf (Novobobruysk). Nurse Yekaterina Radkina remembered Shanina telling her that she regretted having done so little.[48] Recalling the moment Shanina's mother received notification of her daughter's death, her brother Marat wrote: "I clearly remembered mother's eyes. They weren't teary anymore. ...  'That's all, that's all'—she repeated".[49] Shanina was buried under a spreading pear tree on the shore of the Allya River—now called the Lava—[10] and was later reinterred in the settlement of Znamensk, Kaliningrad Oblast.[50]

Posthumous honours

In 1964–65 a renewed interest in Shanina arose in the Soviet press, largely due to the publication of her diary. The newspaper Severny Komsomolets asked Shanina's contemporaries to write what they knew about her.[17] Streets in Arkhangelsk, Shangaly and Stroyevskoye were named after her, and the village of Yedma has a museum dedicated to Shanina. The local school where she studied in 1931–35 has a commemorative plate.[51] In Arkhangelsk, regular shotting competitions were organised among members of the paramilitary DOSAAF sport organisation for the Roza Shanina Prize,[22] while Novodvinsk organized the open shooting sports championship in her memory.[52] The village of Malinovka in Ustyansky District started to hold annual cross-country ski races for the Roza Shanina Prize.[53]

In 1985, the Council of Veterans of the Russian Central Women Sniper Academy unsuccessfully requested the Supreme Soviet of the Soviet Union to posthumously bestow the Order of Glory 1st Class on Shanina.[54] In the same year, Russian author Nikolai Zhuravlyov published the book Posle boya vernulas (English: Returned After Battle). Its title refers to Shanina's words, "I will return after the battle," which she uttered after receiving a note from her battalion commander urging her to return to the rear immediately.[22] Verses have been composed about Shanina, such as those by writer Nikolai Nabitovich.[55] A small memorial stele dedicated to Shanina (part of a three-piece monument) was erected in Bogdanovsky settlement, Ustyansky District.[56]

In 2000, Shanina's name appeared on the war memorial stone of the Siberian State Technological University, although there is no evidence she had any affiliation with it during her life. Russian author Viktor Logvinov controversially wrote in the 1970s that Shanina had studied in the Siberian Forestry Institute and that she was the daughter of an "old Krasnoyarsk communist".[57] The claim was continued by Krasnoyarsk publications in later years, particularly in 2005.[58]

Character and personal life

The war correspondent Pyotr Molchanov, who had frequently met Shanina at the front, described her as a person of unusual will with a genuine, bright nature.[17] Shanina described herself as "boundlessly and recklessly talkative" during her college years[8] and typified her own character as like that of the Romantic poet, painter and writer Mikhail Lermontov.[5] Shanina dressed modestly and liked to play volleyball.[59] According to Shanina's sister-in-arms Lidiya Vdovina, Roza used to sing her favourite war song "Oy tumany moi, rastumany" ("O My Mists") each time she cleaned her weapon.[17] Shanina had a straightforward character[60] and valued courage and the absence of egotism in people.[5] She once told a story that when "about half a hundred frenzied fascists with wild cries" attacked a trench accommodating twelve female snipers, including Shanina: "Some fell from our well-aimed bullets, some we finished with our bayonets, grenades, shovels, and some we took prisoners, having restrained their arms."[17]

Shanina's personal life was thwarted by war. On 10 October 1944, she wrote in her diary, "I can't accept that Misha Panarin doesn't live anymore. What a good guy! [He] has been killed ... He loved me, I know, and I him ... My heart is heavy, I'm twenty, but I have no close [male] friend".[5] In November 1944, Shanina wrote that she "is flogging into her head that [she] loves" a man named Nikolai, although he "doesn't shine in upbringing and education".[5] In the same entry she wrote that she did not think about marriage because "it's not the time now".[5] She later wrote that she "had it out" with Nikolai and "wrote him a note in the sense of 'but I'm given to the one and will love no other one'".[5]

Note

  1. ^ In the commendation lists Shanina's patronymic is Georgiyevna, while in her birth certificate and in several other sources the patronymic goes as Yegorovna. The Russian given name Yegor is a form of Georgiy.[1]
