The Sixth of July (Shestoe iyulya) is a Soviet 1968 B&W historical movie directed by Yuli Karasik. It depicts the events of Left Socialist Revolutionary Party (Left SR) uprising against the Bolsheviks in July 1918. The immediate cause of the conflict between Bolsheviks and Left SRs, who were previously formed coalition government, was the disagreement about the Treaty of Brest-Litovsk that was signed between Soviet Russia and the Central Powers. The uprising started on July 6 with the assassination of the German envoy Count Mirbach by two members of Left SR party. The uprising lasted for only one day and was crushed in the morning of July 7 by the troops, faithful to Bolsheviks.
The following weapons were used in the film The Sixth of July (Shestoe iyulya):
Nagant M1895 revolvers are used by several Left SRs, notably by Chekists Yakov Blumkin (Vyacheslav Shalevich) and Nikolay Andreev (uncredited) who assassinated Count Mirbach.
Several Left SRs, notably the commander of the Battle Squad Dmitry Popov (Aleksandr Yanvaryov), and Bolsheviks carry Mauser C96 pistols. The pistols are mostly seen in holsters.
Out of time FN Model 1922 is a personal weapon of Vladimir Ilyich Lenin (Yuriy Kayurov), the Chairman of the Council of People's Commissars (in reality Lenin owned an FN Model 1900).
Various rifles are seen in documentary photos, showing German and Allied intervention in the Russian Civil War in 1918. They are mostly seen unclear, but the context of photos allows to make quite an educated guess.
An out of time F-1 hand grenade is used by Yakov Blumkin (Vyacheslav Shalevich) during the assassination of Count Mirbach (it is unclear what grenade Blumkin used in reality; most sources call it an unspecified "hand bomb").
