Re: Ideal soviet solider propaganda?
I feel your english is lacking, but there is a plethora of heroes; not a single one. The USSR was always about collectivism. However, Panfilov, Gastello, Meresyev, Matrosov are all heroes who were much exalted.

Re: Ideal Soviet Soldier Propaganda?
It might make more sense to examine what the ideal Soviet soldier was made to be after the fact--that is, through study of postwar memorials. When I studied in Berlin, I got to see a lot of them, including the Soviet War Memorials in Tiergarten, Treptower Park, Schönholzer Heide, as well as the concentration camp Sachsenhausen. When applicable, the Soviet soldier is usually battle-worn but enduring, stepping confidently towards the future. The impression I always got from them was that the memorial was for those who died, but the Soviet army/people/ideology(represented by the soldier) would advance on.

"And it had produced the first of many Sevastopol heroes to be celebrated in Russian verse and song: the Five Sailors of Sevastopol. Their ammunition exhausted, each of the five men made bundles of their last grenades and flung themselves under onrushing German tanks, each man crippling a panzer."
