Exodus (Russian title Iskhod, Mongolian title Төгсгөл) is a 1968 (filmed 1967) Soviet-Mongolian adventure movie directed by Anatoliy Bobrovskiy and Dshamjangijn Buntar and adapted from a story by Yulian Semyonov. The plot is set during the Mongolian Revolution of 1921. Red Mongols under the command of Sukhbaatar and Red Army clash with the troops of Baron Roman von Ungern-Sternberg, a White Army General turned de facto ruler of Mongolia. Soviet intelligence agent Prokhorov (Vladimir Zamanskiy) acting under the personality of White Colonel, infiltrates Ungern's headquarters.

Note: while the film was never released under an official English title, the reliable source for Exodus title is Yulian Semyonov Cultural Foundation archive. The title Outcome, used in English Wikipedia, seems to be a result of direct translation.


The following weapons were used in the film Exodus (Iskhod):

Pistols

Mauser C96

Mauser C96 pistols are widely used in the movie, notably by Munko (Laykhansurengijn Lkhasuren), a shepherd turned warrior, the Mongol warlord Khatanbaatar Magsarjav (Navaany Dugarsanjaa), and Sotnik (a Lieutenant level rank in Cossack troops) Sipaylov (Dmitriy Masanov), the head of counterintellegence service of Ungern's army. Many Chinese officers also are armed with Mausers which was in reality a very popular handgun in early 20th century China.
