'''''Doctor Zhivago''''' is the 1965 adaptation of Boris Pasternak's Nobel Prize-winning novel of the same name directed by [[David Lean]] and starring [[Omar Sharif]], [[Julie Christie]], Geraldine Chapman, [[Rod Steiger]], and [[Tom Courtenay]]. Filming in the Soviet Union was out of the question, as it was the middle of the Cold War and the Soviets hadn't even allowed Pasternak's novel to be published (it was published in Italy after being smuggled out,) so filming was done in Spain, Finland, and Canada. The film wasn't shown in Russia until after the fall of Communism. The film was nominated for ten Academy Awards, but only won five, including Best Adapted Screenplay and Best Score. | |||

Doctor Zhivago is the 1965 adaptation of Boris Pasternak's Nobel Prize-winning novel of the same name directed by David Lean and starring Omar Sharif, Julie Christie, Geraldine Chapman, Rod Steiger, and Tom Courtenay. Filming in the Soviet Union was out of the question, as it was the middle of the Cold War and the Soviets hadn't even allowed Pasternak's novel to be published (it was published in Italy after being smuggled out,) so filming was done in Spain, Finland, and Canada. The film wasn't shown in Russia until after the fall of Communism. The film was nominated for ten Academy Awards, but only won five, including Best Adapted Screenplay and Best Score.
The following weapons were used in the film Doctor Zhivago:
Garate Revolver
When his peaceful demonstration is attacked by Cossacks, Pasha (Tom Courtanay) picks up a Spanish copy of the Smith & Wesson .44 Double Action, the Garate .455 Revolver, later giving it to Lara (Julie Christie) to hide. Lara uses it herself. Red Partisan leader Liberius (Gérard Tichy) appears to be equipped with one as well.
Mosin Nagant M1891 Rifles
Some Russian soldiers like Pasha are seen with historically correct Mosin Nagant M1891 rifles. These can be identified by the lack of a semi-pistol grip and a spike bayonet that attached to the front sight base. Most of the film was shot in Spain, which had no shortage of Mosin Nagants since the Soviet Union had supplied Republican forces with Mosin Nagants during the Spanish Civil War.
1893 Spanish Mauser rifles
Since the Cold War limited the supply of real Mosin Nagant rifles, and because the film was mostly shot in Spain, most extras are equipped with 1893 Spanish Mauser rifles in the large crowd scenes.
Maxim M1910
Maxim M1910 machine guns are used by Russian soldiers.
Nagant M1878
A Russian Tsarist Officer fires a Belgian Nagant M1878 to get his soldiers' attention.
Cannon
Strelnikov's armored train is equipped with two cannons, most likely mockups.
