"The Forty-First by Lavrenyov, Boris (1924). A female sniper with [the] Red partisans misses her 41st victim (a White [Russian] officer), then winds up stranded with him on a desert island, where they fall in love. However, the White's essentially selfish, bourgeois nature becomes apparent and she shoots him, fulfilling her mission and her class destiny."
