Central Women's Sniper Training School

The Central Women's Sniper Training School (Russian: Центральная женская школа снайперской подготовки) was a Soviet military school for training female snipers for battle in the Second World War, more commonly referred to as the Great Patriotic War among Soviet Troops.

The school yielded several highly successful snipers who became decorated veterans, and two graduates were posthumously awarded the title Hero of the Soviet Union.

Potential students had to be at least 20 years old, physically fit, graduated at least seven of their secondary school classes, and pass the initial 4-day Vsevobuch program.

Cadets who passed the Moscow Higher Military Command School exam in addition to graduating achieved the rank of junior lieutenant.

On 25 November 1944, 559 of the women left the academy for active duty before the rest of the remaining 411 students of their graduating class were deployed to the warfront in February.
