Lenin in October (Lenin v oktyabre) is a Soviet B&W 1937 historical drama, directed by Mikhail Romm. It depicts the events of Russian October Revolution 1917 and the personality of Vladimir Ilyich Lenin. The movie is the first part of dilogy, followed by Lenin in 1918 (Lenin v 1918 godu) (1939).

Pistols
FN Model 1900
In one scene Vasily (Nikolai Okhlopkov) suggests Lenin (Boris Shchukin) an FN Model 1900 pistol for self-defence but the leader of Bolsheviks declines. It's worth noting that in reality Lenin owned an FN 1900 pistol but it was later, in 1918-1919.

Other Weapons
