Kursk: Burning Tigers features "Valeria Gnarovskaya's feat" painted by Marat Samsonov, which hangs in the Military Medical Museum in Saint Petersburg, Russia.

On 23 September 1943, only 20 years old and a medic in a Soviet rifle company, her unit came under attack from two Tiger tanks. “Valeria ran forward [with a bundle of grenades] and threw herself right under the tracks of the leading Tiger. There was a big explosion and the tank ground to a halt. The second tank tried to turn back but it was too late. Valeria’s comrades dashed up and put it out of action. Thanks to her self-sacrifice, the breach was quickly patched up, the assault beaten off and the regiment put on the offensive.”

On 3 June 1944 Gnarovskoy was posthumously awarded the title ‘Hero of the Soviet Union.’
