Investigation Held by ZnaToKi (Sledstvie vedut ZnaToKi) is a cult Soviet detective TV series, released in 1970s-1980s (last two episodes were released after a long break in 2002) and based on stories and characters by Olga and Aleksandr Lavrovs. The main characters of the series are three detectives of Moscow Militsiya: investigator Maj. (later Lt.Col. and Col.) Pavel Pavlovich Znamenskiy (Georgiy Martynyuk), operative Capt. (later Maj., Lt.Col. and Col.) Aleksandr Nikolaevich Tomin (Leonid Kanevskiy) and forensic expert Capt. (later Maj.) Zinaida Yanovna Kibrit (Elza Lezhdey). The acronym of the first letters of the names of the main characters makes the title "ZnaToKi" (Znamenskiy-Tomin-Kibrit) that in turn corresponds the Russian word "znatoki" that means "experts". Last two episodes were filmed when the actress Elza Lezhdey had passed away, so the character of Zinaida Kibrit was replaced with expert Kitaeva (Lydia Velezheva).
The trio mostly deals with non-violent crimes, like thefts, fraud, counterfeiting and illegal gold trade, so firearms relatively rare are seen in the series.
Note: First nine episodes were filmed in B&W.
The following weapons were used in the television series Investigation Held by ZnaToKi (Sledstvie vedut ZnaToKi):
Makarov PM pistols are service sidearms on Soviet Militsiya. PMs are seen in several episodes, carries by Znamenskiy, Tomin, other Militiya personnel and some criminals.
A TT-33 is a plot item in "Case No.13. Before The Third Gunshot" (1978): a criminal hides his TT after a robbery, and later a group of teenagers finds the gun. TTs are also seen in hands of criminals in "Case No.22. Mafia" (1989).
A Luger P08 Artillery is seen in hands of a member of Mordvinovs gang in "Case No.22. Mafia" (1989). The pistol lacks the adjustable sight and is fitted with a fake sound suppressor.
