Note :
How the Project Came to Life: The idea to film a biopic of Ludmila Pavlichenko was originally conceived by the Cinema Committee of Ukraine in 2012, then headed by Ekaterina Kopylova. The project had to unite two countries in this depiction of a large-scale excerpt of their mutual recent history. Producers on both sides were equally fascinated by this true story, and the work began. The decision to green light the project was made in December 2012 by Kinorob (Ukraine) headed by Egor Olesov and New People (Russia) headed by Natalia Mokritskaya. Actual production began in 2013. The film was funded by Ministry of Culture of Russia and Ukranian Cinema Committee. The budget is 5 Million US$. Shooting began in Fall of 2013 and lasted until July 25th, 2014. It took place in Sevastopol, Balaklava, Kiev, Odessa, Kamenets-Podolsky.
