Reminded me that I got mad at sniper elite the other day - in SE5 they have a playable Russian sniper who after the invasion of Ukraine during the end of the game's development was hastily relabeled as a Polish sniper who was married to a Soviet and then fought in the defense of Stalingrad. Apparently it was considered "in bad taste" to have a playable Russian sniper who was clearly inspired by Pavlichenko. She still has a bad Russian affectation of course, but they slapped a polish flag on her.

Note that you can still play a nazi sniper in the competitive mode, and a "clean-Wehrmacht" soldier in the Zombie Army spinoff. But a female Soviet sniper would be in bad taste, sure.

Edit: WEIRDER STILL CAUSE PAVLICHENKO WAS BORN IN MODERN-DAY UKRAINE!
