Original picture, without the photoshop desat effects
I did it. :'D
Fanart of the fanfic The Baltics Secrets . IT'S A MUST TO READ IF YOU ENJOY INTENSE CRACK AND NONRAPETRUCKRUSSIA, I DEMAND YOU TO READ AND GIVE THE AUTHOR LOTS OF LOVE. D8<
Russia in the 1944 Baltic offensive with Latvia (Well, the little one's carrying an easter egg if you look closer ;D).
Edited in photoshop and desaturated to look more like an old photo. Also, that Pushkin font is nice! If wondering what's written, just their war names -Aija and Ivan - and some lorem ipsun gibberish translated in russian.

Latvia's dark green uniform is inspired by a photo of soviet sniper Lyudmila Pavlichenko. And a brief not about their eyes (cuz I feel like commenting) - Latvia's eyes are violet in official colorings (like Russia) while the anime gave him cerulean blue. I've decided to make a mix of violet with blueish background, while Russia's would be a violet with fucsia bg, to accentuate their differences. (But the ps effect left Latvia's more blue than violet, shhh)
So, used references of PPS-43 submachine gun for Russia and Soviet 91/30 PU Sniper Rifle for Latvia - please be gentle, it's my first time drawing such guns with photo references.
The trademark insanely long scarf is just artistc license, of course - Ivan would be easily strangled by the enemy with the long edges.
Used this stock for the old photo effect
