Résumé
Since the beginning of the armed conflict in Eastern Ukraine, both sides have claimed to have arrested “women snipers”. These claims echo strangely what happened in Chechnya – where rumours about women snipers fighting against Russian troops loomed large and served as a justification for violence against women. This research note seeks to explore the different aspects of this legend in Eastern Ukraine and review the differences and parallels that can be drawn with Chechnya.
