Check Passed: No Mines (Yugoslavian title Provereno nema mina; Russian title Provereno - min net) is a 1965 Yugoslavian-Soviet war movie directed by Yuriy Lysenko and Zdravko Velimirovic. In October 1944 Belgrade is liberated from the Wehrmacht troops. Soviet and Yugoslavian soldiers perform mine clearance in the city. A mixed group under the command of Yugoslavian Lt. Rade encounters the presence of Germans in the Belgrade sewers. A prisoner tells that only an hour left before the saboteurs would explode the water reservoir damb that would lead to great disasters all over the city. Having no time to wait for the reinforcements, the group takes the mission to save the city on themselves.

The following weapons were used in the film Check Passed: No Mines (Provereno nema mina):

Pistols

Tokarev TT-33

Lt. Rade's (Branko Pleša) sidearm is the TT-33 pistol. There is a possibility that the pistol is not the original TT but the Yugoslavian Zastava M57 but it isn't seen clear enough to confirm or decline this guess so for the sake of simplicity it is identified as TT.

Tokarev TT-33 - 7.62x25mm Tokarev. Pre-1947 version.

Submachine Guns

PPSh-41

PPSh-41 SMGs are widely used by Soviet soldiers, notably sappers Shaken (Eskendir Umurzakov) and Demid (Leonid Tarabarinov). Yugoslavian soldier Stevan (Boro Begovic) receives the PPSh instead of his Karabiner 98k rifle for the mission in sewers.
