Gorgon Slayer (talk | contribs) And for your information, " Proza.ru " is way reliable and logical than those " sources " in this page as It's solely based on logic and history rather than copying and pasting the same misinformation over and over again.

While the Second World War was not fought in Tajikistan itself, after the arrival of numerous refugees from the war to the Tajik SSR Lobkovskaya took the impact of the war to heart and volunteered for the military after graduating from school under the advice of the Komsomol.[1][2]
Training and service
Lobkovskaya was one of 300 women sent to Veshnyaki in Eastern Russia to train as snipers at the Central Women’s Sniper Training School. From February 1945 until the end of the war, Lobkovskaya commanded a company of female snipers who eventually saw action in the Battle of Berlin. On one night while defending a section of road, the unit assisted in the capture of 27 enemy combatants.
