[[Mosin Nagant/Frolov Shotgun|"Frolovka"]] bolt action shotguns are widely used by villagers, notably by Grandfather Fishka ([[German Novikov]]). They stand for [[Berdan Rifle|"Berdanka"]] bolt action shotguns that were widely used in Russia in late XIX - early XX century. Screen "Frolovka" shotguns lack typical magazines of M91 rifle (usual sign of 32 gaige version) but retain the grooves on stock that allows to differ them from "Berdanka".

The Strogovs (Strogovy) is a Soviet 1976 eight-part mini series directed by Vladimir Vengerov and based on the same title novel by Georgi Markov. It depicts the life and fate of Strogovs family, inhabitants of a Siberian village, from late 19th century to Russian revolution and civil war.
The following weapons were used in the film The Strogovs (Strogovy):
Nagant M1895 revolvers are widely used throughout the series. Taras Semyonovich Belyaev (Valeri Anisimov) holds a Nagant in Ep.2. Matvey Zakharovich Strogov (Boris Borisov) carries a holstered Nagant when he serves as a prison guard in Eps.3 and 4. Holstered Nagants are also carried by police uryadnik (an NCO rank in Russian Imperial police) Nikodim Sofronovich Khlyupochkin (Oleg Belov) in Ep.3 and Russian Army Poruchik (Lt.) (Yuri Dedovich) in Ep.5. During the events of Russian civil war in Eps. 7 and 8 Nagant revolvers are seen in hands of Matvey Strogov, Grandfather Fishka (German Novikov), Artyom Strogov (Aleksey Plavinskiy), Demyan Mineich Shtychkov (Viktor Pavlov), Commissar Krayukhin (Anatoliy Semenov), Timofey Zalyotny (Valery Kravchenko), White Army Staff Capt. (Boris Leskin), and some minor characters. Most Nagants are of anachronistic post-1930 version.
An Astra 900 pistol, anachronistic for 1920 (production started in 1927-1928), is seen in several scenes in Eps. 7 and 8, set during Russian civil war, used by Red partisan Sanya (Aleksandr Susnin) and Red Army soldier Artyom Strogov (Aleksey Plavinskiy), Matvey Strogov's son. This pistol is probably the same prop, used in The Chief of Chukotka (Nachalnik Chukotki), also filmed by Lenfilm.
In one scene in Ep.8 a former merchant Markel Sosipatrovich Golovanov (Leonid Nevedomsky) gives a Mauser C96 "Red 9" pistol to Tikhon Chyorny (Mikhail Mitin), hegumen of Old Believers skete. Later Golovanov takes the pistol back. Strangely, the frame of this pistol has features, typical for early versions of C96, like "Cone Hammer" and "Large Ring Hammer".
Original Mosin Nagant M1891 rifles are widely used throughout the series, used by Cossacks in Ep.6, and by Red partisans and White soldiers in Eps.7 and 8.
In one scene in Ep.8 a White soldier fires a Mosin Nagant rifle that is shorter than full-length models but doesn't match M1907 or M1938 Carbines. This is probably an M91/30 rifle that has custom shortened barrel.
"Frolovka" bolt action shotguns are widely used by villagers, notably by Grandfather Fishka (German Novikov). They stand for "Berdanka" bolt action shotguns that were widely used in Russia in late 19th - early 20th century. Screen "Frolovka" shotguns lack typical magazines of M91 rifle (usual sign of 32 gaige version) but retain the grooves on stock that allows to differ them from "Berdanka".
Siberian hunters and gold prospectors use Double Barreled Shotguns in Eps. 1 and 2. Shotguns are also used by Red partisans and brigands in Eps. 7 and 8.
What appear to be dummy training stick grenades is seen in hands of Artyom Strogov (Aleksey Plavinskiy) in Ep.8 during the battle with White troops. They stand for RG-14 hand grenade.
