"Narkomovskiy" Train (Narkomovskiy oboz)
DVD Cover
Narkomovskiy oboz Starshina (Sgt.Maj.) Viktor Filippov (Sergey Makhovikov ) gets a task to deliver to frontline troops a supply train, loaded with vodka. His team consists of four young female soldiers and two civilian coachmen, an old man and a boy. During the way to frontline they have many encounters, including the final battle against a German unit that not all of them survived.
Note: the movie hasn't any official title in English so the original title is translated and need some clarification. "Narkomovskiy" literally means "something that belongs to Narkom " (a short for Narodny Komissar , "People's Commissar", an analog of minister in USSR at that time). But Red Army military slang used "narkomovskiy" in a figurative sense, as a name for vodka rations that were introduced by the order of Narkom Oborony (People's Commissar of Defence) Voroshilov. So this word in the title doesn't need a literal translation.
The following weapons were used in the film "Narkomovskiy" Train (Narkomovskiy oboz) :
