Beautiful edition. Paper of good quality, photos in color that show everything that collector of uniforms and militaries from II WW should see. And such a collector should see as much as possible because collecting Russian equipment is like walking in the minefield, specially for the beginners. Uniforms that are shown in the book seem to be all original, although it is common that they are identical copies of them or they exist after war uniforms that look exactly the same as the prewar. Delightful are, like usually in Histoire and Collections, personal items of soldiers that add human touch to the collection.The weakness of the book is "communist historiography". Author, against title, didn't show soviet soldier from II WW but soviet soldier from "Great Patriotic War" - strange, bizarre name invented by soviet propaganda, which goal was to cheat history. Soldiers are shown from June 1941. But soldier of Red Army didn't start II WW from 22 June 1941 but from 17 September 1939, when the attack on Poland had place. And after that was taking land of Lithuania, Latvia, Estonia and a part of Romania and attack on Finland - "The Winter war". From this period however there is no single photo of Russian soldier. Comrade Stalin would praise such a selective view on history :)DANIEL BIENEK ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars Superb book - a must-have for the student of WWII Russian Soldiers *by N***R on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on October 27, 2011* This is a typically high-quality book from H&C, as we've come to expect. Top quality paper, outstanding photography, great hardcover format in a perfect size. Loads of fantastic detail photos of original Soviet uniforms, field gear, and personal items carried by Russian soldiers, partisans, and officers. This is an invaluable resource for anyone doing WWII reenacting or just studying the Soviet Army in WWII.Two minor gripes; the type size and font used in the text parts of the book (not the captions) is too small and too thin against the stark white glossy paper, making it a little difficult for forty-seven-year-old eyes to read without a pair of serious magnifying reading glasses on! Even then, it's not an easy task - wish they would've used a larger, easier-to-read font. Also, some of the items are glossed over rather quickly as the book strives to cover an tremendous amount of ground within its pages. There's not a lot of detail given on the items shown, but due to the number of items shown, there simply wasn't enough room to do so.STILL, I highly recommend this one, excellent resource book that will prove itself to be invaluable. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars An absolute must-have for all ww2 buffs!!! *by R***S on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on September 25, 2011* Being an Eastern Front historian for over 27 years now, I feel compelled to choose The Soviet Soldier as my very first review on amazon. After the book Deutsche Soldaten by Agustin Saiz hit the market, which covers all German equiptment and uniforms of ww2, I immediately thought that a comparable work must come out that would cover the soviet side of ww2. Well behold! Here it is! This book is for anyone that has either elementary interest, or a life time of ww2 study under their belt. To begin, the cover and binding method is high class and the book has a feel of solid quality. With that said, the contents speak for themselves. Inside you will find any and all personal effects during the period of 1941-1945. Being more of a photo study, all uniforms and equiptment are mint condition originals, being pain stakingly Photographed on high quality gloss paper, showing even the most minute details. The author, Philippe Rio, did an excellent job in every aspect. If you purchase this book you will not be disappointed. My copy goes right next to Deutsche Soldaten as an indispensible piece to my Eastern Front library. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.gr/products/20373884-the-soviet-soldier-1941-1945-hardcover-june-1-2011](https://www.desertcart.gr/products/20373884-the-soviet-soldier-1941-1945-hardcover-june-1-2011) --- *Product available on Desertcart Greece* *Store origin: GR* *Last updated: 2026-04-25*
