Ohh those Russians... Well, I'm not mad about Soviet union but the truth is Red Army freed my country and hometown in 1945 and - I really don't know exactly why - I like soviet uniforms especially their WWII helmets - maybe it's because Czechoslovak army has the same equipment so I know it quite well. This bust is amazing. In my opinion it expresses the terror of wars very well.

Looks excellent not usually my thing but it's very much a universal soldier showing the strains and fear of combat. A great job

Great bust! And the theme is very good WW2 Red Army infantryman !!!!!

Just one observation - if you compare the bust with the picture - the hand of the bust clutching the cross seems to be a bit on the small side but it might be the angle of the picture. Great choice for a bust - regardless of the nation depicted - it is the "human factor" that makes the busts of LM so outstanding IMHO.
Cheers, Martin
