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).
The following weapons were used in the film Lenin in October (Lenin v oktyabre):
A Rast-Gasser M1898 revolver is personal sidearm of Russian Army Poruchik (Lt.) Nikolay Nikolaevich Kirilin (Nikolai Chaplygin). In the scene on the telephone station Bolshevik Matveyev (Vasili Vanin) uses a Rast-Gasser revolver (later he is seen with a Nagant).
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.
Mosin Nagant M1891 rifles are widely used by revolutionary and counter-revolutionary forces. Vast majority of them are Infantry rifles but some M91 Dragoon are also seen.
What appear to be Gras Model 1874 rifles are seen in hands of Red Guards during the storming of the Winter Palace. Russia purchased 450,000 Gras rifles in France in 1916.
Cruiser Avrora, a famous participant of Russian Revolution, is seen in several scenes. The outlook of the ship is slightly different from the one in October 1917, as in 1920s Avrora passed repair and modernization, including rearming from 152mm/L45 main guns to modern 130mm/L55.
