'''''Weather Is Good on Deribasovskaya, It Rains Again on Brighton Beach''''' (Russian title ''Na Deribasovskoy khoroshaya pogoda, ili na Brayton Bich opyat idut dozhdi'') is a Russian-American 1992 comedy detective movie directed by Leonid Gaidai. Russian special agent Fyodor Sokolov ([[Dmitry Kharatyan]]) and American special agent Mary Star ([[Kelly McGrill]]) join forces to capture the mysterious boss of the Russian mafia in New York known only as Artist ([[Andrey Myagkov]]) (''Artist'' is Russian for ''Actor''). Artist never reveals his true identity and always appears disguised as one of former leaders of the USSR - Lenin, Stalin, Khrushchev or Brezhnev.

Later, this tank appeared in several other Soviet movies and [https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-UXUTp2yyiOw/SorjjXOIoxI/AAAAAAAAL1E/z7sPHwAurBw/s903/DSCF3555.jpg currently can be seen in the Mosfilm museum].]]

==Unknown Smith & Wesson Revolver==	 
On some of the video covers of the film, Fyodor Sokolov ([[Dmitry Kharatyan]]) holds a revolver which is similar to both the [[Smith & Wesson Model 36 Chief's Special]] and [[Smith & Wesson Model 37 Airweight]]. It is likely hand drawn (or, perhaps, salvaged from an unrelated photo) into the picture, so it is likely not meant to be any revolver in particular.
