Bolt Action Soviet Infantry

These were the soldiers who fiercely defended Mother Russia from the German invasion of 1941 until the fall of Berlin in 1945. Often simple peasant soldiers, they were trained to follow orders without question, enduring harsh conditions and facing unparalleled scale of battles and suffering in history.

Russian divisions evolved from a disorganized mass into a capable and battle-hardened force of modern infantry within a few short years, shaped by intense combat against the German invaders.

"Quantity has a quality all its own," remarked Joseph Stalin, highlighting the vast numbers of soldiers he could deploy. Armed with robust, straightforward weaponry, the Soviet soldier was formidable in attack and formidable in defense, as demonstrated by the legendary sieges of Leningrad and Stalingrad.

This set provides you with a platoon of determined Russian infantry, equipped with a variety of gear and weapons. Form your ranks, prepare your bayonets, maintain your formation, and ensure you do not fall behind, lest the Commissar takes notice!
