13Minifigure – Soviet Red Army submachine gunner (LEGO Compatible)

This minifigure represents a Soviet Red Army submachine gunner from the World War II era. This was a very common and crucial role in Soviet infantry tactics, as these soldiers provided immense, close-range suppressive fire during assaults. The character is a generic representation of these famously resilient front-line soldiers, not a specific historical individual.

The items in the picture consist of a detailed minifigure and his iconic weapon:

• The toy minifigure is depicted with a determined, shouting expression. He wears the standard-issue M1943 Gymnastyorka khaki field uniform and an SSh-40 steel helmet, which is printed with the Red Army’s star emblem. His printed equipment is specifically that of a submachine gunner, featuring a belt with large, specialized pouches designed to hold the distinctive round drum magazines for his weapon.

• The weapon is a detailed accessory of the PPSh-41 submachine gun. This is confirmed by the Chinese text “双色波波沙” (shuāngsè bōbōshā), which translates to “two-color PPSh.” The PPSh-41 was a legendary Soviet weapon of WWII, famous for its high rate of fire and reliability, and became a symbol of the Red Army soldier. The toy version accurately captures its most recognizable feature—the large 71-round drum magazine—and is described as “two-color” to reflect its black metal body and brown wooden stock.
