Valentina Shevchenko posted Victory Day greetings featuring photographs of Soviet female pilots she had previously mentioned. The post honored Marina Raskova, Valeria Khomyakova, Lydia Litvyak, Ekaterina Budanova, and Valentina Grizodubova. These were the same aviators Shevchenko had referenced approximately six weeks earlier. The UFC flyweight champion used the occasion to commemorate the contributions of these female military pilots during World War II. The post connects her earlier comments about these historical figures to the Victory Day celebration. Details about the context of her previous mention of these pilots are not provided in this brief update.
