The Wall (Russian: Стена: Stena) is a 2016 Russian adventure TV series, directed by Dmitriy Meskhiev. The story is set during the Time of Troubles, the Siege of Smolensk (1609–11). A mysterious treasure of the Knights Hospitaller was hidden near the city of Smolensk. Polish King Sigismund III Vasa, German mercenary Friedrich 'Fritz' Mayer, French engineer Loiseau, Russian soldiers Grigory Koldyrev and Andrey Dedyushin, Voevoda Mikhail Shein and his daughter Katya Sheina embark on a quest to locate it.
The following weapons were used in the television series The Wall (Stena):
