Valentina Shevchenko commemorated Victory Day by posting photographs of famous Soviet female pilots from World War II. The photos featured Marina Raskova, Valeria Khomyakova, Lydia Litvyak, Ekaterina Budanova, and Valentina Grizodubova. This post follows up on comments Shevchenko made approximately six weeks ago about these heroic aviators. The gesture demonstrates Shevchenko's continued connection to Soviet military history and her respect for the contributions of women in combat during the war.
