Pilotka
Pilotkas are the typical cap of the Russian forces. They are  an envelope style cloth cap. They should have either a red or subdued cap star.
Ostfront is the ONLY recommended provider
Gymnastriorka
The tunic of the Red army included two styles throughout the war. The M43 has a stand up collar and uses the shoulder board rank. It should have either brass or subdued buttons. It should also have cotton collar liner. This can not be worn for Stalingrad events.
Ostfront's M43s are preferred
Trident's 2nd Generation M43s are acceptable
Sharovari
Sharovari are a type of 'semi-breeches' which flare at the top of the leg and are tight in the calves. They have a reinforcing patch on the knees.
Ostfront is the ONLY recommended provider
Jackboots
Calf-length boots with leather lowers and impregnated canvas uppers.
Trident has some in stock but they are a bit expensive
OR
Low Boots
British lendlease boots would be available and would be a decent choice if you prefer to not use jackboots.
What Price Glory has some good British Ammo Boots
WITH
Puttees
You can use canvas puttees but they don't tend to fit as well as wool ones. These MUST be worn with low boots.
Ostfront makes some great canvas puttees
Great War Militaria makes excellent wool puttees
