Most Russian "action" photographs have always looked staged to me.

thanks for posting these. they're very cool. ironically, when i clicked on this thread and the first picture popped up, the line "rode a tank wearing a general's rank" from sympathy for the devil was playing..

The Russian B-25 is interesting, looks like a modern photo.

Great pics, thanks for collecting and sharing.  



For those who haven't listened to it, Dan Carlin's "Ghosts of the Ostefront" is worth every penny that you have to pay to download the old episodes.

I see a couple of pics with some oriental looking soldiers in them.



Are they Chinese fighting with the Russians?

The Soviets replaced the bolt action Mosin prior to the German invasion with the
semi-automatic SVT-40. They were very popular with German soldiers

I wonder how many soldiers in those pictures didn't survive the war?  It could be a high percentage.

I think they started making Mosins in greater numbers again after the war began and they got their evacuated industry up and running again.
