# bio (long form, separated for readability)
bio: |
  Lyudmila Mikhailovna Pavlichenko was born 12 July 1916 and joined the Red Army as the Eastern Front opened. She fought through the siege of Odessa and the siege of Sevastopol in the early stages of the war, until a mortar shell wounded her in battle and she was pulled back to Moscow. After recovery she trained other snipers, then in 1942 was sent abroad as a public spokeswoman — touring the United States, Canada, and the United Kingdom while the war still raged. When it ended in 1945 she was reassigned as a senior researcher for the Soviet Navy. She died of a stroke on 10 October 1974, at 58.
