The Soviet Union was a massive part of the victory of the Allies versus the Axis in World War II. They were the Eastern Front, and they kept the Germans from advancing further. Millions of German and Soviet soldiers died as the two countries clashed, and many at the hands of the Soviet Rifle. This rifle was meant to be the standard issue rifle for the USSR, but when Germany invaded they disrupted the production of the gun and the Soviets were forced to use older models of guns to resist the invasion. Thankfully, there is no invasion halting production of BrickWarriors' toy Soviet Rifle, so your Allied forces can stand their ground with the latest (at the time) in firepower.
