    The fact that his "faelid" classification turned to "Pontid" after his Soviet uniform was mentioned shows how almost everyone here has no idea in terms of classification, no matters if even the particular type is not at all common in the particular country

    I agree with you! There is a member here "norb" who has posted a number of Nazi soldiers for classification, some of whom hardly look German, but people couldn't resist the urge to classify them as different varieties of Nordic simply because they were wearing Nazi uniforms. It's really frustrating but also hilarious at the same time.

    I have nothing against Norb by the way. I like his posts!

    My guess would be Ukraine, Russia or Belarus.
    The same uniform was used by Albanian Navy during the communism.

    Russian?
    He looks quite close to some stereotypical all-American Irish/German mix.

    Exactly the kind of appearance (with an authoritative chin) Soviet propaganda loved to put forward:

    All of them used the stripped shirt, it's called Breton shirt and it was invented by the French.

    Italian for example

    I don't get the "he's dressing the soviet uniform must be russian", this is not a guess this pic by any means necessary, just go by his features, that's the purpose of taxonomy.

    He is not Russian.
