This minifigure represents a Soviet Red Army rifleman equipped for the harsh conditions of winter warfare on the Eastern Front during World War II. He is a generic soldier, embodying the common infantryman who formed the backbone of the Soviet military and fought in brutal battles like Stalingrad and the Siege of Leningrad.
His role and setting are clearly defined by his historically accurate winter clothing and standard-issue weapon. His face is printed with a weary or worried expression, reflecting the hardships of the front.
The items in the picture consist of the detailed minifigure and his rifle:
- The toy minifigure is wearing a Telogreika, the iconic Soviet padded and quilted winter uniform (jacket and trousers), which was essential for survival in the extreme cold. His headgear is the standard SSh-40 steel helmet, which is adorned with the Soviet red star insignia. His printed equipment includes a belt with ammunition pouches for his rifle.
- His weapon is a Mosin-Nagant M91/30 rifle. This powerful and reliable bolt-action rifle was the standard-issue firearm for millions of Soviet soldiers throughout the war.
