Roza Georgiyevna Shanina (Russian: Ро́за Гео́ргиевна Ша́нина, 3 April 1924 – 28 January 1945) was a Soviet sniper during World War II, credited with fifty-nine confirmed kills, including twelve soldiers during the Battle of Vilnius. Shanina volunteered for the military after the death of her brother in 1941 and chose to be a marksman on the front line. Praised for her shooting accuracy, Shanina was capable of precisely hitting moving enemy personnel and making doublets (two target hits by two rounds fired in quick succession).

 1941年底，一位受過大學教育的前蘇聯幼稚園老師莎妮娜（Roza Shanina）走進了前蘇聯陸軍新兵召募中心，自願從軍，當召募官告知戰場狀況後，莎妮娜仍執意加入軍隊，因為她要為當時納粹德軍包圍列寧格勒（Leningrad，即今聖彼得堡）戰役中死去的兄長討回公道，莎妮娜沒有想到的是，她卻意外成為前蘇聯歷史上著名的女狙擊手之一

One of the Red army’s premier snipers with a documented 59 kills. Shania was KIA by shell fragments in East Prussia.

A native of Siberia, Shanina grew up in isolated impoverished surroundings having to walk five miles a day to school to finish grades 5 through 7. According to Soviet (laudatory) sources, Shanina ran away from home at 14 to Archangelsk and studied at a University there (at 14?). living with her brother before a college dormitory where she was known for returning at a late hour, getting back to her room by bedsheets hung out by her roommates.She graduated college in 1941/42.

When a brother died at Leningrad in 1942, Shanina asked to enlist,at that time the Red Amy actively recruited females for sniper training ‘because they had flexible limbs, and it was believed that they were patient and cunning. They were also thought to be more resilient than men under combat stress, and more resistant to cold.’ She reported for training in June 1943 over objections of her local commissariat (Draft Office) trying to keep her away from the war. Accepted at the Central Female Sniper Academy and graduating with honors, Shanina was offered an instructors position she declined joining the 184th Rifle Division on April 2,1944.

 莎妮娜出生於1924年4月3日，17歲那年，自願加入前蘇聯紅軍（Red Army），由於前蘇聯將領普遍認為女性從軍人員的身體柔軟度、機靈、耐心與能夠吃苦的特性均優於男性，因此在經過簡短的新兵訓練後，莎妮娜與許多女兵前往中央女子狙擊學院（Central Female Sniper Academy）學習射擊技巧。

那場近距離遭遇納粹德軍的戰役中，共72人陣亡，僅6名有幸生還，其中包括親自俘虜1名納粹德軍，同時身受重傷的莎妮娜，之後獲頒「光榮勳章（Order of Glory）」，讓她除了狙擊功績之外，贏得後方同胞的讚賞與聲望，當時媒體還稱她為「東普魯士的恐怖女孩（Russ Girl Terror of East Prussia）」

1945年1月28日，莎妮娜為掩護部隊指揮官，不幸遭砲彈碎片擊中胸膛，失血過多傷重而死，那時，莎妮娜才20歲。在短短的9個月前線狙擊手軍旅生涯中，莎妮娜共成功狙擊了59名納粹德軍，軍旅生涯隨筆的戰鬥日記也於1965年出版。 

著有《二次大戰75年：邁向戰爭之路》（World War II Plus 75 :The Road to War）一書的李普曼（David Lippman）指出，這批前蘇聯女性狙擊手當時對於提升紅軍士氣「功不可沒」。
