Baltic Glory (Baltiyskaya slava) is a Soviet 1957 historical war movie directed by Yan Frid. During the revolutionary events of Summer-Autumn 1917 in Russia Fyodor Lyutov (Iosif Kutyansky), Minniy Starshina (Leading Torpedo Operator) of Baltic Fleet destroyer Grom, and the commander of said destroyer Aleksandr Borisovich Ordyntsev (Pavel Kadochnikov) have to make an uneasy choice. In October 1917 Grom participates in the Battle of Moon Sound against the overwhelming forces of Imperial German Navy. When the destroyer is heavily damaged, Lyutov prevents the capture of defenceless ship in cost of his life.

Other Weapons

RG-14 Hand Grenade (mockup)

Many Anarchists carry stick hand grenades that look like RG-14s. But the grenades have bright white bodies, so they are possibly aluminum mockups, though not training dummy grenades, often used as a screen replacement of RG-14s, as these grenades have typical lever on grip, making them more lookalike with original RG-14s.

Trivia

Warships

Scenes of naval battle are filmed on the gunboat Krasnoye Znamya (former Khrabryy) that was a real participant of the Battle of Moon Sound. Krasnoye Znamya stands for both destroyer Grom and for herself. During the filming, the ship was already decommissioned and partially dismantled.

Error creating thumbnail: File missing
130mm B-13 naval guns are mounted on Krasnoye Znamya. In this scene the ship stands for destroyer Grom.
Error creating thumbnail: File missing
A view on the breech of the gun allows to positively identify it.
Error creating thumbnail: File missing
A B-13 gun on the bow of the ship.
Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Three 130mm guns on the stern of the ship.
Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Former Khrabryy appears in the movie as herself.

During the naval battle Fyodor Lyutov operates a triple torpedo launcher that is 533mm 39-Ju model, issued to Soviet Navy only in 1936. Judging by the fact that the torpedo launcher is mounted not on the centerline (as it is on destroyers) but at the board, the ship on which the scene was filmed must be a cruiser, almost certainly Kirov.
