Minifigure – Soviet Red Army soldier scout razvedchik or combat engineer (LEGO Compatible)

This minifigure represents a Soviet Red Army soldier from a specialized unit, such as a scout (razvedchik) or combat engineer, during the World War II era. He is a generic representation of the soldiers who were issued special equipment for reconnaissance or assault missions.

His elite role is clearly indicated by his distinctive uniform. He is wearing a two-piece camouflage oversuit featuring the “Amoeba” pattern (MKK suit). This was one of the first mass-produced camouflage patterns used by the Soviet Union and was typically issued to specific troops like scouts, snipers, and assault engineers to provide them with better concealment than the standard khaki-brown uniform.

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 which 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 a PPSh-41 submachine gun. This iconic “burp gun,” with its high rate of fire and large-capacity drum magazine, was a devastating weapon in close-quarters combat and was frequently used by Soviet shock troops and reconnaissance units.
