The End of Ataman (Konets atamana) is a Soviet 1970 adventure movie directed by Shaken Ajmanov. The story is set in 1920-1921 in Semirechye (Zhetysu) region in Central Asia (in modern days this region is in Kazakhstan and China). The local leader of White Army and hard enemy of Soviet power is Cossack Ataman Aleksandr Dutov. Chekist Kasym-khan Chadiyarov (Asanali Ashimov) infiltrates Dutov's headquarters and plays a key role in the victory over Ataman.
This movie starts the tetralogy about the adventures of Chadiyarov, followed by Trans-Siberian Express (Transsibirskiy ekspress) (1977), The Manchurian Variant (Manchzhurskiy variant) (1989) and Who are You, Mr. Ka? (Kto vi, gospodin Ka?) (2009).
The following weapons were used in the film The End of Ataman (Konets atamana):
Nagant M1895 revolvers are widely used throughout the movie, by both Cheka agents and White officers. Pre- and post-1930 versions of Nagant are seen.
FN Model 1922
In several scenes Chekists Kasym-khan Chadiyarov (Asanali Ashimov) and Nesterov (Yuriy Sarantsev) carry anachronistic FN Model 1922 pistols (probably the same movie prop reused), carries in wooden stock-holster of Mauser C96. There is no evidence that FN 1922 was ever used with such holster-stock (though FN Model 1903 was, but its holster-stock had different shape than the one of "Broomhandle").
FN Model 1900
The Chief of Semirechensky Cheka Nikolay Petrovich Suvorov (Viktor Avdyushko) owns a nickel plated FN Model 1900 pistol.
Rifles
Mosin Nagant M1891/30
Mosin Nagant M1891/30 rifles, standing for original M91s, are widely used by Soviet Cheka and Militsia personnel and White Cossacks.
Shotguns
Sawed-off Single Barreled Shotgun
White counterintellegence agent Usen (Zeinullat Setekov) has a sawed-off Single Barreled Shotgun that is taken by Kasym-khan Chadiyarov (Asanali Ashimov). It appears to be some Izhevsk exposed hammer model, possibly IZh-17.
Machine Guns
RPK
Heavily anachronistic RPK machine gun is seen in Ataman Dutov's headquarters. It is described as "most modern Japanese machine gun".
Maxim M1910/30
A Maxim M1910/30 machine gun, standing for original M1910, is mounted by Chadiyarov's assistant of the attic of Col. Ablaykhanov's house.
Trivia
Holsters
Artillery
Field guns of unclear model (possibly Russian 3-inch M1900) are used by White Cossacks in Suiding fortress.
