On This Day in History - August 20, 1923

August 20, 1923 #OTD Ziba Ganiyeva, Soviet female sniper in the Red Army during World War II credited with 21 kills. After the war she became a philologist. Ziba Ganiyeva is Azerbaijani by her father and Uzbek by her mother. In 1937, she was admitted to dance courses at the newly established Uzbek Philharmonia. In 1940, she moved to Moscow to enter the Russian Academy of Theatre Arts, but voluntarily enlisted in the army on 7 November 1941, shortly after the opening of the Eastern Front of World War II. She was accompanied by another sniper, Nina Solova. During the war, Ganiyeva was a radio operator and a spy who crossed the front line 16 times. She participated in the Battle of Moscow. Ziba's military service was discontinued after she was heavily wounded during the reconnaissance operation in Moscow suburbs in 1942. She was carried off the battlefield and subsequently spent 11 months in hospital. During the war her photo was featured in Komsomolskaya Pravda and on the cover of Ogonek magazine. After the war she continued her post-secondary education and, in 1965, received a Candidate of Sciences degree in philology. (Died: 2010), was born on this day in Shamakhi, Azerbaijan SSR, Soviet Union.

Glad that she was able to survive and keep living her life, I hope after getting wounded, her life wasn't too difficult. Either way, thanks for sharing an amazing story.
