Even before the war with the Nazis, Tatyana Baramzina learned to shoot accurately. Subsequently, these skills were useful to her in the battles for freedom of the Fatherland. In her last battle, the girl and her comrades had to fight with superior enemy forces. For her military feat in this fierce battle, Baramzin was posthumously awarded the high title of Hero of the Soviet Union.
From the biography of Tatyana Nikolaevna Baramzina
The future sniper girl, Hero of the Soviet Union, was born in the city of Glazov (now it is Udmurtia). Tatyana's birthday is December 19, 1919. Her father was initially a worker, and during the NEP began to sell bread, for which he was subsequently limited in civil rights. Mom was engaged in housework, and then also connected to her husband's trading affairs. In 1933, the Baramzin family house was confiscated.
Tanya in childhood was a courageous and physically developed girl. She swam well. After graduating from seven classes of the school, Tatyana entered the pedagogical school, where she joined the Komsomol and the Osoaviahim society. One of her skills was the ability to shoot from a rifle. In 1937 she graduated from college and for some time worked as a teacher in rural schools.
In 1940, Baramzina decided to continue her education and became a student of the geographical faculty of the Perm Pedagogical Institute. When the war began, Tatyana decided to go to the front, but she was refused this. Then she went to nursing courses and at the same time worked as a teacher in a kindergarten, where the children of the evacuated were brought up.
