Vasily Zaitsev: The Legendary Sniper of Stalingrad

Vasily Zaitsev was a Soviet sniper who became a legend during the Battle of Stalingrad in 1942. With his extraordinary ability to eliminate enemy soldiers from long distances, he killed more than 200 German soldiers. He became particularly famous for his ‘duel’ with an elite German sniper, whom he successfully eliminated. Zaitsev's precise shots and his courageous resistance made him a symbol of the Soviet resistance. After the war, he was celebrated as a hero, and his story remains one of the most fascinating of the Second World War. After the Second World War, Vasily Zaitsev opted for a life away from the military. During the Battle of Stalingrad, he was severely injured in the eyes, which severely limited his further military career. Although he was partially able to see again, he was no longer fit for active service on the front. For this reason, he retired from the military and began a quieter life in Kiev, where he worked as the director of a textile factory. His injury was therefore one of the main reasons why he did not return to active service after the war
