Minifigure – soldier Idel Ural Legion Volga Russian Liberation (LEGO Alternative)

This Lego minifigure is depicted in a grey military uniform, characteristic of those worn during World War II. The uniform features distinct red and green collar tabs with white piping, and the figure wears a grey side cap. An emblem, appearing as a white oval with a green design (possibly with red accents), is visible on the cap. The minifigure has black hair and a concerned facial expression with a mustache.

Based on the visual cues, the product’s file name (“SKU-23-MT014-伏尔加俄解 B18-44.webp”), the Chinese characters “伏尔加俄解” (which can be loosely translated to “Volga Russian Liberation”), and the image’s metadata suggesting “German Idel-Ural Legion,” this Lego minifigure represents a soldier from the Idel-Ural Legion.

The Idel-Ural Legion, also known as the Volga-Tatar Legion (German: Wolgatatarische Legion), was a volunteer unit of the German Wehrmacht formed during World War II. It was primarily composed of Muslim Volga Tatars, but also included other peoples from the Idel-Ural region of the Soviet Union. The Legion was one of several “Ostlegionen” (Eastern Legions) formed by the German military. The insignia of these units often incorporated specific national or ethnic symbols and colors. While the exact historical accuracy of every detail on a Lego minifigure can vary, the combination of the uniform color, the style of the collar tabs, and the information associated with the image strongly point to this identification.
