description: "Marytė or Marija Melnikaitė was a Soviet partisan and the only Lithuanian woman awarded the title of Hero of the Soviet Union. While her partisan career lasted less than two months, Soviet propaganda exaggerated her duties and accomplishments. Many works, including a film and an opera, were dedicated to her. Several streets in the former Soviet Union are still named after her."
