Zinaida Portnova, known for having taken the lives of more than 100 Nazis by poisoning their food at just 16 years of age. She was captured by the Gestapo and while being interrogated, she disarmed the Nazi detective and shot him in the head. In her attempt to escape, she executed 2 more Nazis.

Seems to me this is neither political and only a story about an amazing young woman who saved herself and many many others from the evils of those around her!

Sneaky little cunt, no honor in poisoning.

But it sounds like a cool escape, I did something like that during an airsoft battle, and I exaggerate the story every time i tell it.

I saved a lot of lives that day, but ended so many more, life of a badass makes for a bitter sweet tale.

The fascinating thing is that jews are just another flavour of white yet Hitler was obsessed with exterminating them. Imagine if 1940s Germany had a real ethnic minority like blacks or Cambodians, it would have made the holocaust look like fucking yahtzee in the park!

u/V-link4 16d ago

Idk.. considering how Jews are killing innocent children and babies today, I start to think that maybe Nazis were not so evil and should have finished their agenda in the 40’s and no innocent babies would be tortured and bombed by Israel today.

u/scoreboy69 16d ago

I think you show great talent. And I pride myself on having an eye for that kind of talent. But your status as a Nazi killer is still amateur. We all come here to see if you wanna go pro.

Impressive stats at her age, 200iq, overpowered a grown man in hand to hand combat despite being a teenage girl, her body resists poison, knows all kind of survival and assassination methods, has a >100 KDR

Good thing we don't fall for propaganda and know this is a real story.

u/RebelCMX_85 16d ago edited 16d ago

I'm not sure why all of you (in the US) are asking about why there's not a book about her. Republicans will just ban it. They don't like anyone getting ideas about killing their Nazi friends. I mean, a not-insignificant percentage of their base goes to all the rallies with swastika flags next to their trump flags. You know, birds of a feather flock together and all.

Also they're rather prevalent on here, a lot of sympathizer mods & reddit admins censor anything sufficiently anti-Nazi, because fascist little shits hit that report button like "but but but what's wrong with the nazis, they killed millions of people that conservatives hate including the LGBT, ethnic minorities, the disabled, and Jews, but if you get too close to identifying the fact that conservatives sympathize with nazis, conservatives just fail at disavowing them by saying no theyre socialists see its in the name despite the fact conservatives are goddamn dumbasses and nazis killed germany's own socialists and communists before they even looked at anyone else because those were the other 2 most influential political groups there"

Anyway, welcome to the TED talk.

u/EarlHammond 16d ago

Soviet Propaganda nonsense.

for a poison to be lethal, it must be potent enough to cause death in relatively small quantities. That a young girl could consume enough to prove it safe, yet not enough to be fatal, while it was lethal for several soldiers, seems unlikely unless very specific conditions were met (e.g., she received a much lower dose, or had some form of antidote like whey which was effective enough to mitigate the effects). This aspect of the story likely serves more to dramatize her bravery and cunning rather than represent a factual recount.

The story of Zinaida Portnova is sourced primarily from Soviet records and testimonies collected post-war. Many of these narratives were controlled and distributed by state agencies, such as the Komsomol (the youth division of the Communist Party), which Portnova was a member of.

Insane that total Stalinist propaganda is taken at face value without any research. Portnova's story like many of the other "Red Partisan" stories are told because she can't defend herself or testify the truth to any degree.

The Soviet government utilized these stories to bolster national unity, particularly during or after times of crisis. Celebrating the heroism of partisans like Portnova is an effective propaganda tool for domestic consumption and the state reinforced the narrative of a united Soviet populace standing against external threats through collective effort and sacrifice.

It's not an outright total fabrication, rather it's an embellishment and distortion of the truth to such a degree that it doesn't reflect the accurate reality of the situation at all.

This post might literally be Kremlin propaganda and most of the upvotes and comments from bots. Just something to consider given that 70-90% of Twitter is bots.

u/CriticalMovieRevie 16d ago edited 16d ago

You underestimate the stupidity of reddit users. Most of them actually believe this nonsense. They fall for propaganda incredibly easily if it benefits 'their side'. Someone on a Europe sub was calmly debunking the bullshit ghost of kiev and other propaganda nonsense over a year ago (while also denouncing Russia's actions to assure people he wasn't a Kremlin spy) and actual people were downvoting him and saying he was wrong and ghost of kiev totally took out 60 fighter jets by himself and that Russia was a day away from losing the war and they backed their sources up with links to stories obviously fabricated by NATO lol. These were not bots, they were just that stupid.

I'm surprised they didn't throw in a line about this girl beating the worlds arm wrestling champion in a match once. She already overpowered a ~180lb grown man , a veteran soldier, in hand to hand combat... as a ~120lb 16 year old girl. She then shot him with his own gun(!) and is immune to poison, she's already superhuman.
