The Witch (Ukrainian: Відьма; Vidma, Russian: Ведьма; Vedma. Also known as Konotopska Vidma, "The Witch of Konotop", in order to distinguish movie from many other films of the same name) is the 1990 Soviet Ukrainian language fantasy-mystery-erotic comedy, based on the novel Konotopska vidma (The Witch of Konotop) by Hryhory Kvitka-Osnovyanenko.


The following weapons were used in the film The Witch (Vidma):


IZh-18 (Sawn-Off, mocked as percussion cap pistols)

Sotnik Zabryokha (Bohdan Benyuk) and near all cossacks carry Sawn-Off IZh-18s mocked as percussion cap pistols on the belts. It's can ID by the crude grip and typical typical spur on the trigger guard.

Percussion Shotgun

Several cossacks can be seen armed with the Percussion Shotguns. Due the very large calibre, it's can be genuine percussion cap hunting guns known in old Russia as "shompolka" (slang term from Russian word shompol, which means ramrod). Such guns were produced in late 19th - early 20th century and used until mid-20th century, especially in Siberia.
