Valentina Shevchenko posted photographs of Soviet female combat aviators to mark Victory Day. The photos honor Marina Raskova, Valeriya Khomyakova, Lidiya Litvyak, Yekaterina Budanova, and Valentina Grizodubova, the same pilots Shevchenko spoke about a month and a half earlier. The post connects her personal values to historical figures. Shevchenko is a two-time UFC flyweight champion known for her striking and technical skills. The gesture reflects her pride in her heritage and respect for military history.
