Oleko Dundich (Yugoslavian title Aleksa Dundic) is a 1958 Soviet-Yugoslavian historical adventure movie directed by Leonid Lukov. It depicts the life of Oleko (also called Aleksa) Dundich, a prominent Red Army cavalry commander during the Russian Civil war. The biography of Dundich is highly controversial; the movie follows the version that Dundich was born in Austro-Hungary and became a Hussar NCO during the World War 1. In 1916 he was taken prisoner by Russian troops and later volunteered to join the Serbian Volunteer Corps in Russia. In 1917 Dundich joined Red Guards and then became a cavalry commander in 1st Cavalry Army until his death in battle in July 1920.
The following weapons were used in the film Oleko Dundich:
Revolvers
Nagant M1895
Nagant M1895 revolvers are widely used by numerous characters, both Reds, including Oleko Dundich (Branko Pleša), and Whites.
Note: see additional images on talk page.
Pistols
Mauser C96
Mauser C96 pistols are seen in hands of several Reds, notably Dragich (Ljuba Tadic) and Palich (Dragomir Felba), Serb cavalrymen of Dundich's international unit. High commanders of 1st Cavalry Army, Kliment Yefremovich Voroshilov (Vladimir Troshin) and Semyon Mikhailovich Budyonny (Lev Sverdlin), carry Mauser C96 pistols in holsters.
Unidentified pistols
In one scene Oleko Dundich (Branko Pleša) holds a pistol that resembles an FN Model 1900.
In the scene when Dundich (Branko Pleša) poses as French Army Capt. Derville, he holds a pistol that resembles an FN Model 1910 but looks smaller and with slightly different appearance. Similar looking pistol is seen in hands of White Army Col. Bobrov (Evgeniy Samoylov).
In several scenes Lt. Col. (later Col.) Pavle Hodzich (Milan Puzic), the head of White Army counterintelligence service, and some other White Army officers carry pistols that resembles FN Model 1922.
Several White Army and French Army officers and generals carry pistols in holsters. Some of these pistols are possibly the ones, described above and reused in other scenes.
Rifles
Mosin Nagant M91 Dragoon and M91/30
Mosin Nagant Rifles are used by numerous Reds and Whites. These rifles are a mix of M91 Dragoons and M91/30s. Only in some cases the model can be identified exactly.
Mosin Nagant M1907 Carbine
Many Reds, notably Dragich (Ljuba Tadic), Palich (Dragomir Felba), Rasovich (Stole Arandjelovic), Kid Mirko (Zoran Benderic), Vanya (Yury Solovyov) and Dasha (Tatyana Konyukhova), are armed with Mosin Nagant M1907 Carbines. Carbines are also used by Whites in several scenes.
