The ICM 35635 Soviet Motorized Infantry (1943–1945) figure set presents a meaningful and emotionally grounded snapshot of World War II beyond the battlefield. Produced in 1/35 scale, this kit depicts four Soviet Red Army soldiers and one elderly civilian woman, capturing a humanitarian moment during the final years of the Eastern Front campaigns.
Historical Background
From 1943 onward, as the Red Army advanced westward following major victories such as Stalingrad and Kursk, Soviet forces liberated vast areas of Eastern Europe. These advances frequently brought soldiers into direct contact with civilians who had endured years of occupation, deprivation, and destruction. Alongside combat operations, Red Army troops often encountered humanitarian situations involving displaced civilians, shortages of food, and devastated towns and villages.
This figure set reflects one such moment—illustrating interaction, assistance, and the human realities of war during the liberation phase of WWII, rather than frontline combat alone. Scenes like this were part of everyday life behind the lines and in newly liberated areas between 1943 and 1945.

- Four Soviet Red Army soldiers in accurate late‑war uniforms
- One elderly civilian woman interacting with the soldiers
- Natural, story‑driven poses designed to work together as a vignette
