'''''Doctor Zhivago''''' is the 1965 adaptation of Boris Pasternak's Nobel Prize-winning novel of the same name directed by [[David Lean]] and starring [[Omar Sharif]], [[Julie Christie]], Geraldine Chapman, [[Rod Steiger]], [[Tom Courtenay]], and [[Alec Guinness]]. Filming in the Soviet Union was out of the question, as it was the middle of the Cold War and the Soviets hadn't even allowed Pasternak's novel to be published (it was published in Italy after being smuggled out,) so filming was done in Spain, Finland, and Canada. The film wasn't shown in Russia until after the fall of Communism. The film was nominated for ten Academy Awards, but only won five, including Best Adapted Screenplay and Best Score. | |||

Doctor Zhivago is the 1965 adaptation of Boris Pasternak's Nobel Prize-winning novel of the same name directed by David Lean and starring Omar Sharif, Julie Christie, Geraldine Chapman, Rod Steiger, Tom Courtenay, and Alec Guinness. Filming in the Soviet Union was out of the question, as it was the middle of the Cold War and the Soviets hadn't even allowed Pasternak's novel to be published (it was published in Italy after being smuggled out,) so filming was done in Spain, Finland, and Canada. The film wasn't shown in Russia until after the fall of Communism. The film was nominated for ten Academy Awards, but only won five, including Best Adapted Screenplay and Best Score.
The following weapons were used in the film Doctor Zhivago:

A Russian Tsarist Officer fires a Belgian Nagant M1878 to get his soldiers' attention.
Rifles
Mosin Nagant M1891
Some Russian soldiers like Pasha are seen with Mosin Nagant M91/30 rifles. These rifles are anachronistic, as the modified M91/30 design wasn't introduced until 1930. Most of the film was shot in Spain, which had supplies of M91 and M91/30 rifles sent by the Soviet Union as war aid to the Republicans during the Spanish Civil War.
1893 Spanish Mauser
Since the film was mostly shot in Spain, most extras are equipped with 1893 Spanish Mauser rifles in the large crowd scenes. The socket spike bayonets came from modifying the socket spike bayonets from Remington Rolling Block rifles which were adopted by the Spanish military in 1871.
Machine Guns
