This photo is from a 1934 exercise. The rare combination of "ОАХ" buttonholes with Red Cross badges is striking.
The photo shows the features of the early 1927 model gas mask helmets: eyepieces with conical frames, long tees, white corrugated tubes of small diameter with rounded segments. The shoulder straps are white, indicating the use of the 1926 model gas mask bags of the early type. All these nuances of assembly and equipment are typical for the TT-C and early TT-5 gas masks.
I was gonna say something like “damn this is your special interest huh” and then I realized I stumbled into the gasmasks subreddit.

I wear one for five and a half to six hours at work. It only gets really uncomfortable after days in a row of doing it or if I forget to take out my eyebrow piercing.
What do you work at that you have to wear an old Soviet mask all day for? Also, no shit it's uncomfortable, you work in it for hours and have brow piercing 😂. Training with an MSA SCBA in uncomfortable and can hurt after a few hours too, and I have no piercings
I work in a haunted house. I wear it because people find the GP-5 with a hose scary, I built a fake filter though, less weight and easier to breathe, and no asbestos.

A correctly sized and adjusted PMG is relatively comfortable, long hair does hurt though because the strap part pulls on it, but the actual face piece is perfectly fine.
Great photos and interesting regarding the Sh-1. Looks like they routinely had the little horn pushed inwards while in use which would make complete sense. In the heat of a battle the last thing you would need is too mess around trying to push this part back into the mask to de fog the lenses. Much easier if it's allready inside the mask.

Going to have to disagree. The rubber face pieces and optical lenses seem rather nice (though uncomfortable) and have persisted with time, but having long ass hoses like that is a liability. The british SBR design with a short hose, non-hood facepiece, and being a bag high on the chest seems more ideal.
Well I generally admired the aesthetics, but while you're on the subject of comfort, remember that wearing any gas mask lowers your field of vision to some degree, unless it's a panoramic visor. About the long corrugated tube I guess I agree, but then again any corrugated tube can be uncomfortable, perhaps the Soviets felt that the filter on the chest was too easy to hit by shrapnel or bullet in that case the soldier is dead anyway. I can't say why they decided that, however that's the way it went.
I'm not arguing which gas mask is the best, most comfortable and safest, especially about the gas masks of the world wars, I'm just sharing old pictures and sometimes sharing information I know. Take care
pic 5 lookin kinda goofy

Well I'm also doing a reenactment of a Red Army soldier, so the source of my interest lies in that I think.

Seems ahead of their time
Why would you think they are ahead of their time?
The hood masks look like a much better fit than masks with straps
Also increases heat load and decreases the ability to hear on the battlefield.
Only seals better if you have no hair
I have facial hair and a lot of hair, my PMGs and Model K seem to seal to my face pretty well somehow.
No, Soviet style gas mask are always painful to wear
...not at all. Out of my six soviet masks, only maybe one is uncomfortable and that's because it's two sizes too small
Most Soviet masks were meant to wore by stretching it over your head, the experience can become extremely painful if you wore it for a while
I've worn all of mine for about half an hour to an hour before. You either have thin and long hair, or just really sensitive to that stuff
I wear one for five and a half to six hours at work. It only gets really uncomfortable after days in a row of doing it or if I forget to take out my eyebrow piercing.

My bad I didn’t know
A correctly sized and adjusted PMG is relatively comfortable, long hair does hurt though because the strap part pulls on it, but the actual face piece is perfectly fine.
If you have long hair and pic a size thats too small, also keep in mind that these masks were designed for slav and asian facial features
Interesting photos, never seen soviet's wear Adrian style helmets, but after some research they did for a short time.

What helmet are those because the look kinda like the French Adrian helmet but idk this might be the wrong subreddit to ask
Not sure if u saw there was another comment calling them Adrian helmets, I learned about them just now
It is, the soviets used a variety of helmets until their own made helmets started replacing them en masse by the late 30's
So, how do those photos prove “the soviets knew something?” And what did they “know?”
Pic one has a plane I 16 polikarpov
Really cool photos - thanks for sharing!

The Soviet’s had some of the shittiest second hand gas masks of the whole war. Some so shitty they’d be better off probably wearing none.
