Lyubov Yarovaya is a Soviet 1970 historical drama movie, adapted from same title play by Konstantin Trenyov (1926) and directed by Vladimir Fetin. A family is torn apart by Russian Civil war: Mikhail Yarovoy (Vasiliy Lanovoy) is a White Army officer while his wife Lyubov Yarovaya (Lyudmila Chursina) is on Reds side. Yarovoy, whom his wife thinks dead, infiltrates the local revolutionary committee, posing as Commissar Vikhr. He foils the plan of Red troops and helps Whites to take the town. Lyubov recognizes Mikhail and renounces him. While Whites control the town, Lyubov is suspected for being a member of Red underground organisation. Mikhail saves her and claims that their love is more valuable for him than the civil war. But when Reds retake the town, Lyubov give Mikhail out.
The original play was adapted for screen four times: in 1953, 1970, 1977 and 1981.
The following weapons were used in the film Lyubov Yarovaya:
Nagant M1895 revolvers are widely used by both Reds and Whites, notably Poruchik Mikhail Yarovoy (Vasiliy Lanovoy), the chairman of revolutionary committee (Revcom) Roman Koshkin (Vasiliy Shukshin) and Red sailor Fyodor Shvandya (Kirill Lavrov).
Mauser C96 pistols are used by two Revcom members, Fyodor Shvandya (Kirill Lavrov) and Konstantin Grozny (Boris Novikov). Possibly this is an Astra 900 (a single prop reused), judging by the shape of the front part of the pistol, but it's not for sure.
Poruchik Mikhail Yarovoy (Vasiliy Lanovoy) holds a hand grenade during the escape from Whites headquarters. It appears to be a dummy training stick grenade, standing for RG-14 hand grenade.
Error creating thumbnail: File missingWhite Army Col. Malinin (Vladimir Kenigson) carries a holster for a compact pistol. The holster lacks the compartment for spare magazine which is untypical for military patterns so it's possibly a civilian model.
Artillery
An abandoned 3-inch M1902 field gun is seen on the road.
