The Poet (Poet) is a Soviet 1957 (filmed 1956) historical drama directed by Boris Barnet. The story is set during the Russian Civil war in a town on Black Sea coast.

The following weapons were used in the film The Poet:
Nagant M1895 revolvers are widely used by both Reds and Whites, notably Red sailor Nikolay Afanasyevich Tzaryov (Nikolay Kryuchkov), Revolutionary Committee (Revcom) activist Olga Danilova (Izolda Izvitskaya), and White Army Poruchik (Lt.) Sergey Vasilyevich Orlovskiy (Vsevolod Larionov) and White Army Col. Andrey Vasilyevich Selivanov (Ivan Koval-Samborsky). The revolvers appear to be of post-1930 version.
A nickel plated FN Model 1900 pistol is briefly seen in the scene when Red Guards confiscate weapons in the town. According to the story, there must be two pistols, but doubtless it is a single prop reused.
Maxim M1910 machine guns are used by both Reds and Whites.
Other Weapons
