The Meeting at High Snows (a direct translation of the original title Vstrecha u vysokikh snegov) is a 1981 Soviet adventure mini series directed by Zinoviy Royzman. In early 1900s Dzhuma Saidov, a villager from Russian Turkestan, is unjustly sentenced to hard labor in Siberia. Dzhuma manages to escape, joins a gang of highwaymen, then participates in Russian Civil war in White Army, changes sides and enters Red Army, and after the war, in 1920s, he at last returns to his native land. Taking part in the struggle against Basmachi, Dzhuma uncovers that their leader Khudayberdy is his own son, born while Dzhuma was in prison, and brought up by Dzhunma's old enemy Appanbai.


The following weapons were used in the film The Meeting at High Snows (Vstrecha u vysokikh snegov):


Revolvers

Nagant M1895

In several scenes in all three episodes Nagant M1895 revolvers are used by Dzhuma Saidov (Nazim Tulakhodzhayev). Also Nagants are seen in hands of Konstantin Ivanovich Zubov (Les Serdyuk), Ekaterina Zubova (Natalya Brazhnikova), Matvey Kolosov (Valeri Kozinets), and some minor characters.

Note: see additional images on talk page.

In Ep.1 soldiers, prison guards and robbers in Siberia use Mosin Nagant M1891/30 rifles, standing for original M91s. Later M91/30 rifles are seen in hands of Red and White soldiers.

Note: see additional images on talk page.

Unidentified Mauser Rifles

In one scene in Ep.3 a Red soldier carries a full-length Mauser rifle. It has turned down bolt handle but other details are unclear. Karabiner 98b is a possible but not confirmed guess.

Shotguns

Mosin Nagant/Frolov Shotgun "Obrez"

Several characters use "obrez" sawed-off guns that appear to be based on "Frolovka" shotgun (some versions of "Frolovka" lacked the protruding magazine). It appears to be a single prop, reused in several scenes.
