Marshal Boris Shaposhnikov – Soviet High Command, WWII
This miniature represents Marshal Boris Mikhailovich Shaposhnikov (1882–1945) — one of the principal architects of the Red Army and a key strategic leader of the Soviet High Command during the Second World War. His military theories and organizational reforms shaped Soviet operational doctrine, influencing the outcome of critical campaigns on the Eastern Front.
Serving as Chief of the General Staff, Shaposhnikov played a central role in planning large-scale operations, ensuring supply coordination, and restructuring command systems under immense wartime pressure. His legacy remains foundational to modern strategic military thought.
The figure is cast in high-quality white metal (tin) and hand-painted with layered shading and precise detailing to convey character, uniform texture, and historical authenticity. Mounted on a display-ready scenic base, it is ideal for collectors of 20th century and WWII miniature art.
