Senior Soviet Officer

[Sunray]

Go do your magic Phil!

Could even be used for the Naval officer in his fetching baby yellow uniform on the far left of the first photo!

He's quite the snappy dresser, those shoes and the rakish cap as well!

I have requested a snappy UAZ-469 as his set of wheels.

The new Pendraken 3D vehicles are really neat.

Also in canary yellow with a horse logo and gull wing doors? And made in Italy

Can I just check one thing re this chap ?

Does he still need the 'jackboot' type 'footwear'...or would he have worn ankle length boots/shoes.
I'm guessing the longer boots ?

Cheers - Phil.

Yes, field uniform - high calf length boots.

Any deviation may be construed as individualism Comrade, and a deviation from the path of Marxism-Leninism undermining the dialectic of the Party. And we wouldn't want that would we?

But that went away with Gorbachov - today we have Putin's cult of presonality (his)

Thanks, chaps !

Phil- the trousers of senior officers widened above the knee in the style of riding breeches- unlike the conventional trousers of rank& file in the 1980s
