'''Mariya Vasilyevna Oktyabrskaya''' was a Soviet [[Workers' and Peasants' Red Army|Red Army]] soldier.<br />
<br />
== Great Patriotic War ==<br />
After [[German Reich (1933–1945)|Nazis]] killed her husband, Oktyabrskaya sold all her possessions and used the money to buy T-34 tank. After five months of training, she participated in an assault against the Nazis in October 1943, where she destroyed Nazi machine gun nests and artillery pieces. In 1944, an anti-tank shell hit her tank while she was repairing it, and the shrapnel hit her head and put her in a coma. She died two months later and was posthumously awarded [[Hero of the Soviet Union]].<ref>{{Web citation|newspaper=[[Liberation News]]|title=Saluting anti-fascist heroes on the anniversary of Victory Day|date=2022-05-09|url=https://www.liberationnews.org/saluting-wwii-heroes-v-day-pt-1/|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220612002233/https://www.liberationnews.org/saluting-wwii-heroes-v-day-pt-1/|archive-date=2022-06-12|retrieved=2022-10-15}}</ref><br />
