The Fight in the Taiga (Poedinok v tayge) is a Soviet 1978 (filmed 1977) adventure movie, directed by Ivan Lukinsky and Vladimir Zlatoustovsky. The story is set in Siberia in 1918, during the Russian Civil war. Nazar Zhigulin (Viktor Gordeev) organises local young men in Komsomol group and together with Red partisans carries out the operation to capture White Army armoured train and a train with weapons.
The following weapons were used in the film The Fight in the Taiga (Poedinok v tayge):
Revolvers
Nagant M1895
Partisans commander Andrey Lukich (Nikolay Olyalin) uses a Nagant M1895 revolver during the ambush on White unit. The Nagant is of anachronistic post-1930 version.
Pistols
Mauser C96
A civilian official (Vladimir Izotov) of White mobilisation unit carries a Mauser C96 in holster.
Rifles
Custom Mosin Nagant
Some Mosin Nagant rifles in the movie are custom shortened Mosin Nagant M1891s. Visually they resemble M1907 Carbines. Such props are seen in other Gorky Film Studio production, like Ne stavte Leshemu kapkany....
Mosin Nagant M1891 Dragoon / M1891/30
Both Reds and Whites are armed with a mix of M1891 Dragoon and M1891/30 rifles. They aren't seen clear enough for proper indetification.
Mosin Nagant "Obrez"
In one scene Ivan Anisimovich (Nikolai Smirnov) gives an "obrez" sawed-off Mosin Nagant rifle to Nazar Zhigulin (Viktor Gordeev). Later this "obrez" is seen in hands of Kostya Zhiltsov (Boris Smorchkov), a member of Komsomol group. Ivan Anisimovich claims that he used a shotgun to make this "obrez" but this statement doesn't match the screen gun.
Winchester Model 1895
A Winchester Model 1895 is seen in hands of a partisan.
Shotguns
Mosin Nagant/Frolov Shotgun
Several partisans are armed with long guns that appear to be Mosin Nagant/Frolov Shotguns.
Machine Guns
Maxim M1910
Maxim M1910 machine guns are used by Whites. Partisans capture a number of Maxims in the train.
Trivia
Holsters
