[[Nagant M1895]] revolvers are service sidearms of most Soviet officers, notably ''Starshiy Politruk'' (Senior political officer, Captain rank) Ivan Petrovich Sintsov ([[Kirill Lavrov]]), General Fyodor Fyodorovich Serpilin ([[Anatoli Papanov]]), Commissar Segrey Nikolaevich Shmakov ([[Lev Lyubetskiy]]), Capt. (then Maj.) Ivanov ([[Oleg Efremov]]), combat medic Tatyana Nikolaevna Ovsyannikova ([[Lyudmila Krylova]]), ''Mladshiy Politruk'' (Junior political officer, Lieutenant rank) Lyusin ([[Roman Khomyatov]]), Lt. Khoryshev ([[Igor Pushkaryov]]), Maj. Danilov ([[Vladlen Paulus]]), and war correspondent Misha Wainstein (Zinovi Vysokovsky). Nagants are mostly seen in holsters.

[[TT-33]] pistols are also used by Soviet officers, notably by General Fyodor Fyodorovich Serpilin ([[Anatoli Papanov]]), Air Force General Kozyrev ([[Vladimir Marenkov]]), Air Force Maj. ([[Vladimir Gorelov]]), and an unnamed Sr. Lt. ([[Oleg Tabakov]]) who erroneously arrested Sintsov.

The main weapon of Soviet infantry is [[Mosin Nagant M1891/30]] rifle. Rifles are notably used by ''Politruk'' Malinin ([[Aleksey Glazyrin]]), ''Starshina'' Kovalchuk ([[Boris Yurchenko]]), Pvts. Pyotr Zolotaryov ([[Yuriy Dubrovin]]) and Efremov ([[Mikhail Vorobyov]]). Bayonets are often attached backwards. This is a exclusively cinematic practice; in reality such practice was banned by service manuals.

Submachine Guns

PPSh-41

Some Soviet soldiers and officers, notably Ivan Petrovich Sintsov (Kirill Lavrov), Lt. Khoryshev (Igor Pushkaryov), Maj. Danilov (Vladlen Paulus) and Col. Baranov (Yuri Volkov), carry PPSh-41 SMGs. The appearance of these submachine guns during the events of Summer 1941 is anachronistic but during the Battle for Moscow in Autumn-Winter 1941 PPSh were really widely used.

Rifles

Mosin Nagant M1891/30

The main weapon of Soviet infantry is Mosin Nagant M1891/30 rifle. Rifles are notably used by Politruk Malinin (Aleksey Glazyrin), Starshina Kovalchuk (Boris Yurchenko), Pvts. Pyotr Zolotaryov (Yuriy Dubrovin) and Efremov (Mikhail Vorobyov). Bayonets are often attached backwards.

Trivia

Artillery

Tanks and Armoured Vehicles

July 1941. Destroyed Pz.Kpfw.IV Ausf.F2 tank in a wheat field near the Mogilev (Byelorussian SSR). Actually long-barreled versions of the Pz.Kpfw.IV tanks entered service only in spring of 1942. Note the large number of shells hits. Maybe this tank was used as a target on the shooting range
