Revision as of 20:29, 5 August 2020
| ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Trotsky is a 2017 Russian TV series, a biopic of Leon (Lev Davydovich) Trotsky starring Konstantin Khabenskiy. The plot is structured as a series of flashbacks to various episodes of Trotsky's biography, framed by the events of his life and eventual death in Mexico in 1940.
The following weapons were used in the television series Trotsky:
Revolvers
Nagant M1895
Nagant M1895 revolvers are widely used throughout the series. They are seen in hands of Leon Trotsky (Konstantin Khabenskiy), Josef Stalin (Orkhan Abulov), and many other revolutionaries, along with Red Army commanders and Chekists. Both pre- and post-1930 versions are seen.
Nagant M1895 "Blef"
A blank-firing "Blef" (VPO-503 "Nagan-S") is seen in hands of the sailor Solovyaninov (Aleksey Mantsygin) during his attempt on Trotsky.
Gletcher NGT Nagant
A Gletcher NGT CO2 replica of a Nagant M1895, identified by the raised rear part of the frame, is seen in the hands of Red Army commander Mukhanskiy (Andrey Vergelis).
Unidentified revolvers
In the scene set in 1940 Mexico, police officers on guard at Trotsky's house carry revolvers in holsters.
Pistols
Mauser C96
During the robbery of the bank stagecoach in 1903, a member of Stalin's group is armed with a Mauser C96. A Mauser in a holster is carried by a Red sailor during the Civil War.
Mauser C96 (Denix) and Luger P08 (Denix)
Denix replicas of Mauser C96 and Luger P08 are seen when Yakov Sverdlov chooses a handgun.
Rhöner SM 15
A rubber- and gas-firing Rhöner SM 15 pistol, used as a stand-in for an early 20th century pocket pistol, is used by Vladimir Efstafyevich Skalon (Sergey Bezrukov), former General of the Russian Army and the military expert during the peace negotiations in Brest-Litovsk. In Trotsky's nightmare in Mexico, he sees Skalon handing him the pistol for suicide.
Browning Hi-Power
Trotsky's murderer Ramon Mercader, alias Frank Jackson, (Maksim Matveev) owns a Browning Hi-Power pistol.
Submachine Guns
During Siqueiros' raid on Trotsky's villa in May 1940, the attackers are armed with various submachine guns. While in reality a single Thompson together with several revolvers were used, here we see a variety of guns, none of which fit for 1940. This scene was filmed in Mexico that explains the usage of weapons that are not common for Russian cinema.
Custom Sten Mk II
One of the guns of the attackers is a Sten Mk II, fitted with a pistol grip in the place of the buttstock. The submachine gun also has some muzzle device, possibly a blank firing adapter.
MAC-10
Two of the attackers are armed with MAC-10 submachine guns that would only appear nearly twenty-five years later. One of the MAC-10s is fitted with a barrel extension.
Unidentified submachine gun
Two more SMGs of unclear model are used. They have closely placed pistol grips and magazine wells along with long perforated barrel shrouds. An Intratec TEC-9 with barrel extension seems to be a possible guess, but it isn't seen clear enough for positive identification.
Rifles
Mosin Nagant M1891/30 and M1891 Dragoon
Mosin Nagant rifles are seen in hands of Russian Imperial soldiers and police and Red Army men, including the so-called "leather hundred" of Trotsky's personal bodyguards. Most of these guns are M1891/30 rifles. Some lack the hood on the front sight and these may be M1891 Dragoons or the pre-1935 version of the M91/30.
Mosin Nagant M1891 Infantry
Mosin Nagant M1891 Infantry rifles are also used by Red Army troops.
Mosin Nagant M1938 Carbine
During the robbery of the bank stagecoach in 1903, one of the Cossacks carries an anachronistic Mosin Nagant M1938 Carbine.
Mosin Nagant Rifle (visually modified as M1907 Carbine)
A custom shortened full-length Mosin Nagant rifle, modified to resemble a Mosin Nagant M1907 Carbine, is seen in several scenes. Such props can be seen in a number of Soviet films.
Karabiner 98AZ
A German agent who makes an attempt to gun down Trotsky in 1905 is armed with a Karabiner 98AZ with sniper scope (this short rifle was issued beginning in 1908). In a scene set in 1918, a Red Army man carries a Karabiner 98AZ with bayonet.
Mauser Gewehr 1898
Some Red Army men carry Mauser rifles that are supposedly Mauser Gewehr 1898s.
Mauser Karabiner 98k
What appears to be an anachronistic Karabiner 98k is seen in the hands of a Red Army man.
Mosin Nagant M/39
A Red Army man carries a Finnish Mosin Nagant M/39 rifle that doesn't fit for 1918.
Mauser Rifle Mockup
A Mexican police officer carries a Mauser style rifle that turns out to be a mockup.
Machine Guns
Maxim M1910
During the revolutionary events of 1905, Russian Imperial soldiers use a Maxim M1910 machine gun (the version of the Maxim first issued to the Russian Army in 1905 was mounted on a large artillery-style carriage, while the Sokolov mount seen here would appear five years later). A Maxim is also seen during the events of the October Revolution of 1917.
MG08/15
An MG08/15 is used by the Red Army men of Trotsky's armored train in 1918.
Trivia
Trotsky's Armored Train
During the Russian Civil War, Trotsky is the chairman of the Supreme Military Council and uses a personal armored train as his mobile headquarters. In the series, the train is a computer generated image.
