投笔从戎
vasily zaytsev, a soviet sniper during world war ii, was notable particularly for his part in the battle of stalingrad. before going to stalingrad he served in the russian navy as a clerk, but upon reading about the brutality of the fighting in stalingrad, he volunteered for front-line duty.
zaytsev was credited with 242 verified kills during the battle, but the real number may be much higher. some argue it might have been as many as 400. he fixed a standard moisin-nagant rifle scope to a soviet 20 mm anti-tank rifle for use against germans hiding behind walls under window sills. the 20 mm rounds easily penetrated the brick and the soldier behind it.
zaytsev died in 1991 at the age of 75.

瓦西里．柴瑟夫是第二次世界大战期间苏联的狙击手，参与斯大林格勒战役，表现尤其出色。他去斯大林格勒之前，在俄国海军任文员，由于读到斯大林格勒城内战斗惨烈，志愿上前线。
斯大林格勒战役中，证实被柴瑟夫射杀的德军有二百四十二名，但真正数目可能高得多，有人认为或高达四百名。他把标准的莫伊辛纳甘步枪瞄准器装在苏式口径二十公厘反坦克步枪上，对付藏身窗台下墙壁后的德国士兵。二十公厘步枪的子弹轻易射穿砖墙以及墙后的士兵。
柴瑟夫一九九一年去世，享年七十五岁。
