And Quiet Flows the Don (Tikhiy Don) is a co-production British-Russian-Italian drama mini-series, a screen adaptation of the famous novel by Mikhail Sholokhov. It depict the fate of a Don Cossack family during the World War One, Russian revolution and civil war. The series was directed by Sergey Bondarchuk and filmed in 1990-1992 but due to the bankruptcy of the Italian film studio, the unfinished film and all working materials were confiscated by the lending bank. Only in 2005 the materials were purchased back, and the series, finished by Sergey Bondarchuk's son Fyodor Bondarchuk, was at last released in 2006.
Grigoriy Melekhov (Rupert Everett), Mikhail Koshevoy (Mikhail Vaskov), a White Army Gen. Sidorin (Nikolay Zasukhin) and an unnamed officer carry Nagant M1895 revolvers during the scenes of the Russian Civil War. Nagants are also briefly seen in the scenes of the WWI. All Nagants are of post-1930 version.
Anachronistic Mosin Nagant M1938 Carbines are also used by Reds and Whites, notably by Grigoriy Melekhov (Rupert Everett), Pyotr Melekhov (Vladimir Gostyukhin), Darya Melekhova (Natalya Andreychenko), Pantelei Melekhov (F. Murray Abraham), Prokhor Zykov (Aleksandr Bespalyy, credited as Alexander Bespalis), Mikhail Koshevoy (Mikhail Vaskov), and Yesaul (Capt.) Ryabchikov (Anatoliy Guryev). The hooded front sights are removed from some carbines to make them look more like WWI era rifles.
Austro-Hungarian (Hungarian Honved, judging by the headgears) soldiers are mostly armed with Enfield Pattern 14 rifles, instead of correct Mannlicher M1895s.
The machine guns, used by Austro-Hungarian troops, are PKs, visually modified to resemble MG34. Of course, neither MG34 nor PK is appropriate for the WWI era. With a certain degree of convention it may be a stand-in for Bergmann MG 15nA.
