Twitter post from USSR Pictures (@PicturesUssr) I hadn't seen before:

The SVT certainly had a material impact on the great patriotic war...
Be tits to have that exact rifle. PAX
The bolt is in the white. I thought only Finn’s were in the white?
Original bolts were in the white. What we commonly see is plum that comes from refurb.
Cool pic of Simonov’s comrade and rival. I’ve never seen an SVT-40 in mint original condition!
Cool photo... first time Ive seen it as well. The SVT just has just the coolest unmistakable profile of the Russian WW2 weapons.
