Gloomy Morning (Khmuroe utro) is the third film of The Road to Calvary (Khozhdenie po mukam) three-part film series, adapted from the novel by eponymous historical novel trilogy by Aleksey Nikolayevich Tolstoy. It depicts the fate of main characters in 1919-1920s, during and after the events of Russian Civil war.
The following weapons were used in the film The Road to Calvary: Gloomy Morning (Khozhdenie po mukam: Khmuroe utro):
Revolvers
Nagant M1895
Nagant M1895 revolvers are used by Ivan Ilyich Telegin (Vadim Medvedev), Vadim Petrovich Roshchin (Nikolai Gritsenko), Nestor Ivanovych Makhno, known as Bat'ka Makhno (Vitaliy Matveev), and numerous Reds, Whites and "Greens" (personnel of Makhno's army). The revolvers are of anachronistic post-1930 version.
Nagant M1895 Revolver - 7.62x38R Nagant. This example was dated 1939 manufacture and was a War time issued weapon. Note the angular front sight which was used from 1930s.
Nestor Makhno sits on a carousel and entertains himself by firing a pair of Nagant at live targets.

Pocket pistol
Lyova Zadov (Vladimir Belokurov), Makhno's chief of counterintelligence, has an FN Model 1905-style pocket pistol, possibly some Spanish or Czech version.
For comparison: Unceta Victoria 1911 Model, Spanish version of FN 1905 - .25 ACP. The safety is placed similar to the screen gun.
Lyova interrogates Roshchin: "I will torture you, you will answer me".
Note the position of safety in front of the grip that doesn't match original FN 1905 but can be seen on some clones.
Lyova puts the pistol in small holster.
