Demon of the Revolution (Demon revolyutsii) is a 2017 Russian historical TV series. The plot is set in 1915-1917 and depicts the activities of the Russian revolutionary Alexander Parvus (Fyodor Bondarchuk). In the series, Parvus is depicted as the intermediary between the German General Staff and the Russian Bolsheviks and the organiser of Vladimir Lenin's travel back to Russia from Switzerland through Germany in April 1917 (this issue is highly controversial, and a lot of different opinions exist).
Except for the 6-part TV series, released in 2017, the 8-part Director's cut also exists; it was released in 2018 under the title Memorandum Parvusa (Parvus' Memorandum). A two-part theatrical release under the title Lenin. Neizbezhnost (Lenin. Inevitability' English release title The Lenin Factor) was released in 2019. The current page is based on the 6-part release.
The following weapons were used in the television series Demon of the Revolution (Demon revolyutsii):
Revolvers
Nagant M1895
Nagant M1895 revolvers are used by Russian revolutionaries Leonid Borisovich Krasin (Dmitriy Ulyanov), Jakub Stanislavovich Ganetsky (Dmitriy Lysenkov) and Khromov (Sergei Legostaev), Parvus' bodyguard Grisha (Sergey Gromov), officers of Russian counterintelligence service Rotmistr (Capt.) Aleksey Nikolaevich Mezentsev (Maksim Matveev), Col. Vasiliy Georgievich Turkestanov (Aleksandr Baluev), and some Russian officers and NCOs. Nagants are also used by Danish police; in this case Nagants are used as a replacement for Danish M1880/85 revolvers.
Both pre- and post-1930 revolvers are seen. Sometimes these models switch to each other due to numerous continuity errors.
Harrington & Richardson Model 733
Parvus' emissary Sofiya Rudneva (Paulina Andreeva) carries an anachronistic Harrington & Richardson Model 733 which can be standing in for a Bulldog revolver. The nickel finish allows to identify the revolver as Model 733, contrary to a Model 732 which is the same gun except for the blued finish. This particular H&R revolver can be seen in several Russian movies and TV series of 2010s, filmed at Mosfilm.
Bulldog-style Revolver
A revolver is partially seen in the pocket of a Russian emigrant and agent of Russian secret police Ilya Tatarskiy (Evgeniy Konstantinov). It it a Bulldog-style revolver, possibly some kind of replica gun.
Pistols
Luger P08
One of the Danish smugglers uses a Luger P08 during the shootout with police. A Luger is also used by one of the duo of hitmen, making the attempt on Parvus.
Steyr M1912
The second hitman is armed with a Steyr M1912.
FN Model 1922
Jakub Ganetsky (Dmitriy Lysenkov) holds an anachronistic FN Model 1922 pistol when he threatens the German ambassador in Denmark.
FN Model 1906
An unnamed Russian monarchist young woman (Elizaveta Arzamasova) makes an attempt on Parvus, using an FN Model 1906 pocket pistol.
Rifles
Mosin Nagant M1891/30
Russian soldiers are armed with Mosin Nagant M1891/30 rifles, used as a substitution for original M1891s.
Karabiner 98k
What appears to be an anachronistic Karabiner 98k is seen on the wall in advocate Lunts's apartments.
Mauser 98-style Short Rifles
In the scene at the Swiss-German border, two of the German soldiers hold Mauser 98-style short rifles with bayonets.
Gewehr 1888
In the above, scene one or two German soldiers hold Gewehr 1888 rifles.
Unidentified rifle
In the same, scene one German soldier holds an unidentified rifle, possibly some pre-98 Mauser.
Mockup rifle
A Swedish border guard carries a mockup rifle. The reason of using of such a crude mockup during close-ups is unclear.
Footage
Nagant M1895
A Nagant M1895 is seen in the documentary footage of the February Revolution of 1917.
FN Model 1903
