Can't unsee ;_;
It's a reference to what the press called Lydia Litvyak.Why is it called "white lilies"? Is there some yuri here? Or does this mean "pure maidens"?
I myself live in Russia and for the first time I hear that we focus on the color of the lily, since in Russian culture lilies, like red roses, are usually associated with one color (unless these are French heraldic lilies). But if this is so, thanks for the information, I will know.It's a reference to what the press called Lydia Litvyak.
"Litvyak was called the "White Lily of Stalingrad" in Soviet press releases; the white lily flower may be translated from Russian as Madonna lily. She has also been called the "White Rose of Stalingrad" in Europe and North America since reports of her exploits were first published in English."
Yarnhub made a video about her.
