Two Comrades Were Serving (Sluzhili dva tovarishcha)
Two Comrades Were Serving (Sluzhili dva tovarishcha) is a 1968 movie by Yevgeni Karelov starring Oleg Yankovskiy as Andrei Nekrasov, Rolan Bykov as Ivan Karyakin and Vladimir Vysotskiy as Alexander Brusentsov.
The story takes place in 1920 in Southern Russia. The cameraman Andrei Nekrasov serves in Red Army and make chronicle of the Russian civil war. He is accompanied by Red Amry soldier Ivan Karyakin who is suspicious about Nekrasov. Meanwhile Porutchik (Lt.) Alexander Brusentsov serves in White Army. The last battles of the civil war will completly change fates of these people.
The following weapons were used in the film Two Comrades Were Serving (Sluzhili dva tovarishcha):
The Red Army commander gave a Mauser C96 to Andrei Nekrasov (Oleg Yankovskiy) as an award. This pistol is M1930 version. C96 pistols of "standard" version are seen in hands of several Red Army commanders, notably the regiment commander (Anatoliy Papanov) and female commissar (Alla Demidova).
The Astra 300 is the personal weapon of Alexander Brusentsov (Vladimir Vysotskiy). This pistol was introduced in 1923 and the movie takes place in 1920, so it is anachronistic.
Maxim M1910 machine guns are used by Red Army, White Army and brigands. They have smooth water jackets, typical for Maxims manufactured during the WW1 and in early 1920s.
During the battle some Red Army soldiers, notably Ivan Karyakin (Rolan Bykov), use "Pineapple" style hand grenades. These are most likely F-1 hand grenades, anachronistic for 1920.
In one scene White officer Praporshchik (sub-lieutenant) Sergei Lukashevich (Nikolay Burlyaev), being drunk, plans to play a joke on his friend Brusentsov, using a lighter pistol. The joke ended tragically for him.
Numerous 3 inch M1902/30 field guns, standing for correct M1902 model, are seen in the movie, used by both Reds and Whites. These are early 02/30 guns with L30 barrel that look very similar to original 02.
