Valentina Shevchenko honors Victory Day with Soviet female pilots tribute

Valentina Shevchenko commemorated Victory Day by sharing photographs of famous Soviet female pilots she had previously mentioned a month and a half earlier. The images featured Marina Raskova, Valeria Khomyakova, Lidia Litvyak, Yekaterina Budanova, and Valentina Grizodubova. These aviators were celebrated heroes of World War II who served in combat aviation roles during the conflict. Shevchenko's post serves as a historical tribute connecting modern mixed martial arts culture with Soviet military history. The gesture demonstrates her ongoing acknowledgment of these wartime heroes and their contributions.
