Suggestions
Some suggestions to improve this article: 1. Add her full name in english. It can be obtained from the German or Russian wiki pages. 2. add her death date 3. add an Infobox military. It can be copied from the Russian wiki page. If it's possible, also upload her image to Wikimedia, so we can use it in other languages.Faltur (talk) 00:47, 19 June 2016 (UTC)

Wrong photograph (movie still actually)
I propose that is Lydia Andreyevna Larisa Ovcharenko [nee Spivak]. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 62.108.27.26 (talk) 20:00, 13 July 2016 (UTC)

-- Yes. Maria Limanskaya was another traffick maneger, they confused Lydia Spivak with Maria. The woman in the photo is Lydia Spivak and she died in 1984! I hope they will change this. --94Falco94 (talk) 16:40, 22 August 2016 (UTC)

Possible Change of Identity for Maria Limanskaya
Dear People at Wikipedia, I’m Stephen W. Richey. This is my first time posting here at Wikipedia, so, kindly accept my apologies if I am doing something wrong in how I am making this posting. I most respectfully offer the following to the topic of Maria Limanskaya: If one spends enough time searching through the Internet, it becomes evident that there is mass confusion regarding the true name of the Soviet female soldier directing traffic in front of Brandenburg Gate whose actions and words were recorded in a motion picture with audio. This situation becomes obvious if one watches, and reads the comments following, the dozen or so renditions of this motion picture posted on Youtube. The confusion stems from the fact that while one Soviet female soldier in front of Brandenburg Gate appears in the motion picture with audio, at least two, perhaps more, different Soviet female soldiers are depicted in still photos, also performing traffic control duties in front of Brandenburg Gate. I have watched about a dozen renditions of the motion picture on Youtube, I have engaged in message board conversations with interested people on Youtube, and I have followed links from Youtube to various Russian-language webpages. I conclude that Maria Limanskaya was the soldier shown directing traffic in front of Brandenburg Gate in a still photo. The name of the soldier in the motion picture with audio was actually Lydia Spivak, married name Ovcharenko. The link below will take you to a Russian-language website about Lydia Spivak-Ovcharenko. Using Google Translate with this link confirms the position regarding Lydia's actual name I stated above. Signed: Stephen W. Richey, March 31, 2017  Stephen W.
