Red Square (Krasnaya ploshchad; full title Red Square. Two Stories About Workers' and Peasants' Army) is a Soviet 1970 two-part historical moive directed by Vasili Ordynsky. The movie is in 1917-1919 during the Russian revolution and civil war. The main characters are Commissar Dmitriy Sergeevich Amelin (Stanislav Lyubshin) and Russian Army Podporuchik (Jr. Lt.) Nikolay Pavlovich Kutasov (Vyacheslav Shalevich) who later becomes the division commander in Red Army.
The following weapons were used in the film Red Square (Krasnaya ploshchad):
Soldiers of a grenadier regiment of Russian Army (in 1918) and of Red Army (in 1919) are armed with Mosin Nagant M1891/30 rifles, standing for original M91s.
Anachronistic Maxim M1910/30 machine guns are seen in the scenes of 1919, used by Red Army soldiers and also mounted on armoured train and armoured cars.
AKM assault rifles are seen in hands of Soviet infantry in the documentary footage of the military parage in honor of the October Revolution on Red Square in Moscow.
Red Army armoured train Krasny Varyag under the command of Koltsov (Sergey Nikonenko) plays a significant role in the second part of the movie, during the events in 1919. The armoured train is a full size replica, made for this movie and later appearing in a number of Soviet movies, including Beg (1970), I na Tikhom Okeane... (1974), Fiery Childhood (Ognennoye detstvo) (1976), Dni Turbinykh (1976), Ognennyy most (1976), Poedinok v tayge (1978), Dachnaya poezdka serzhanta Tsybuli (1979), and Lyudmila (1982). It consists of a genuine locomotive and two armoured railcars, one of OB-3 pattern (WW2 era) with a gun turret and another one of "2nd Siberian" pattern (Russian Civil war era) with a gun in an open shield mount. Both main guns are 76.2mm ZiS-3 with removed muzzle brakes (to make them look more like early 20th century models), also the train is armed with several Maxim machine guns.
