Is that .... a red army star and uniform? (at least, an early design)

May be true, but the hat seems rather unusual.

Come to think of it, could be a Chinese or Korean commie suit, but the accordion makes me think otherwise. This still doesn't explain the red star seemingly coming out of the blue (not to make a pun).

Means "Hello" or "Good day". (just in case)

Those pants are a part of uniform for sure. His hat looks like a flat Budenovka, but I don't remember seeing anything like that. Then again, History never was my strong point, so I can't be sure.

Also, noticed the scars on his hand. What a nice touch. WW II had left many, many more of those.

If we're agreeing he's a Russian Red Army soldier, then I'd say it looks more like he's from the revolution & civil war than from WWII.

Edit: In fact, I think he's wearing the same hat as this hansom fellow.

That is the Budenovka I mentioned.

Also yes, it was canceled as a part of uniform in 1940, so it's probably referencing civil war, not WW II.

The thumbnail made me think Chen was walking her hat.

First though was alternate Hong Meiling and alternate Tewi.
