A puppet from the "Chodir Hayal" puppet theater. The collection features two pairs of Russian soldiers. They could have participated in the parade, as was suggested by the play's plot, or were guarding the honored guests, like the Chinese soldiers—"Urus-sarbaz" . The puppets are wearing Russian army uniforms and holding a rifle, which was in service with the Russian army.
