Voroshilovskiy strelok, named after a badge for marksmanship; also translated as The Rifleman of the Voroshilov Regiment) is a 1999 Russian vigilante drama film directed by Stanislav Govorukhin based on the book Woman on Wednesdays (Russian: Женщина по средам translit.

In the summer of 1999, a decorated World War II veteran, Ivan Afonin, lives with his granddaughter Katya.

In a nearby flat, three bored youths, Vadim Pashutin, local businessman Boris Chukhanov and student Igor Zvorygin, kill time by designating Wednesdays as a day of sexual gratification and hiring a prostitute.

Initially, the offenders are arrested; however, Vadim's father Nikolai is a senior figure in the police and uses his influence to have the charges against his son and his friends dropped.

[1] Frustrated at the offenders having escaped justice, Ivan sells his dacha for $5000 and uses the money to purchase a SVD sniper rifle equipped with a silencer from an illegal weapons trader.

Following the shot, Vadim shoots back through the door with a shotgun, wounding his father and, after days of fright, losing his sanity.
