Almost every week there's a new post about a great Russian feat during WWII such as https://www.reddit.com/r/todayilearned/comments/7tni06/til_that_when_lyudmila_pavlichenko_a_soviet/. Given the disproportionate amount of such posts from Russia and the great emphasis put on propaganda by the Soviet Union, how many of these stories might actually be fake?
There's always more to be said, but in terms of superhuman Russian snipers, /u/Georgy_K_Zhukov recently had a fascinating answer to the question Why do many people take sniper kill counts for granted? Can we really trust any of the official numbers, some as high as 4-500? How reliable are the figures?
