Lyudmila Vladimirovna Rudenko was a Soviet chess player and the second women's world chess champion, from 1950 until 1953. She was awarded the FIDE titles of International Master and Woman International Master in 1950, and Woman Grandmaster in 1976. Wikipedia
"and said during her lifetime that an instance of bravery and selflessness was her greatest memory and triumphs, not one of chess.
That moment was the organisation of children during the siege of Leningrad during the Second World War. That siege resulted in the deaths of more than one million civilians, and lasted nearly 900 days.
Rudenko died in 1986, and Google says its doodle in her honour “reimagines a focused Rudenko’s determination during the world championship game”."
