PPSh-41 with box magazine is actually a kind of a rare gun.
Actually, box magazine is a part of 1942 modification. Drum magazine was bulky, hard to fill with ammo and required individual fitting for each SMG. This, and the lack of shoulder insignias sets this art in summer/early autumn of 1942.
I might be crazy but I think this is based on Red Orchestra 2: Heroes of Stalingrad. (map Grain Elevator) If you look from the Soviet Respawn point this is a little to the right from checkpoint B near the construction yard.

Well, since the 'grain elevator' is a real place. Therefore the artist could have visited the place and drew that...
But yeah, it's Red Orchestra 2. The location of that pile of lumber is way too similar to the Red Orchestra 2 map to be a coincidence... That, and the artist said so in the commentary.

Well, duh, obviously, that's why stuff like this is called 'common knowledge'. Anyone who payed attention at world history class has to know it.
As DeadW@nderer said, that's a shovel. And the Red Army also used lots of German captured weapons. They prefered using German guns in fact. Wouldn't be be surprising they use some kind of German grenades. That said, the Soviet had stick grenades themselves too.
