Minifigure – Soviet Red Army scout or sniper World War II (LEGO Compatible)

This minifigure represents a Soviet Red Army scout or sniper from the World War II era. He is a generic soldier from a specialized unit, distinguished from other similar figures by his cheerful and confident facial expression, which includes a scar over his eye.

His specific role as a scout or sniper is indicated by the combination of his specialized uniform and weapon. He wears the “Amoeba” pattern (MKK suit) camouflage, which was issued for concealment on reconnaissance and sniping missions, and he is armed with the standard Soviet bolt-action rifle.

The items in the picture consist of the detailed minifigure and his rifle:

• The toy minifigure is wearing the “Amoeba” pattern camouflage oversuit and a soft field cap with the Soviet red star insignia. His printed black webbing is equipped with smaller pouches designed to hold stripper clips of rifle ammunition, and he has a hand grenade tucked into his belt.
• His weapon is a Mosin-Nagant rifle. This was the standard infantry weapon of the Red Army and was the preferred rifle for nearly all Soviet snipers, who used a version of this powerful and accurate rifle fitted with a telescopic scope.
