Toward the end World War 2, the Soviet Union was looking to create small arms revolving around the use of the newly developed 7.62x39mm M43 cartridge, which has more range than 9x19mm without the heavier recoil of the 7.62x54R.  The SKS-45 was the first rifle successfully adopted by the soviets using the cartridge.  At the time, the SKS was a lighter and less cumbersome rifle than the Mosin-Nagant 91/30 or SVT-40 while having more effective range than the PPS-43 or PPSh-41 submachine guns, making it a relatively all purpose firearm.  Unfortunately, it didn’t remain in service for long as the full auto AK-47 was developed shortly after, making it obsolete as the SKS was a purpose built semi-auto rifle.
