This minifigure represents a Soviet Red Army soldier serving in a specialized unit, such as a scout (razvedchik) or combat engineer, during the World War II era. He is a generic soldier, depicted with an aggressive, shouting expression that would be suitable for a combat diorama.
Like other figures with this uniform, his elite role is clearly indicated by his attire. He is wearing a two-piece camouflage oversuit featuring the “Amoeba” pattern (MKK suit). This early-war camouflage was not standard issue for all infantry but was typically given to specialist troops like scouts and assault engineers for improved concealment during their dangerous missions.
The items in the picture consist of the detailed minifigure and his weapon:
- The toy minifigure is wearing the “Amoeba” pattern camouflage uniform and a soft field cap that is also printed with the Soviet red star insignia. He has printed black webbing with pouches designed to carry the large drum magazines for his submachine gun.
- His weapon is the iconic PPSh-41 submachine gun. With its high rate of fire and large-capacity drum magazine, it was a powerful weapon for the close-range assaults and reconnaissance missions that soldiers wearing this uniform would have undertaken.
