== Biography ==
=== Dead In Her Sights ===
On 3 October 1942, Kirelenko was among a contingent of soldiers defending an old tractor factory in the city of Stalingrad under the command of Commissar Sergei Konstantinov. Besieged by German soldiers, the Commissar directs Kirelenko to find request assistance from nearby troops in fortifying their position. Kirelenko then locates the sniper Lieutenant Tanya Pavelovna and her spotter, Private Aleksandr Sokolov, and asks for them to follow him back to the factory.
They head out into the streets to join with a group of Red Army soldiers, though they immediately come under fire from a Mark IV Tank. The other men are gunned down in the streets while Kirelenko leads Pavelovna and Sokolov into the city's sewer system. The trio attempt to make their way through the underground labyrinth, encountering German and fellow Soviet soldiers along the way. They are eventually able to make their way to an exit near the tractor factory, though Kirelenko does not follow Pavelovna and Sokolov any further.
