Valentina Shevchenko honors Soviet female pilots on Victory Day

Valentina Shevchenko commemorated Victory Day by posting photographs of Soviet female fighter pilots she had mentioned six weeks earlier. The images featured Marina Raskova, Valeria Khomyakova, Lydia Litvyak, Ekaterina Budanova, and Valentina Grizodubova. These women served as pioneering aviators during World War II. Shevchenko's post connects to her previous statements about these historical figures and demonstrates her continued engagement with Soviet military history. The tribute aligns with the May 9 Victory Day celebration commemorating the end of World War II in Europe.
