The Road to Calvary (Khozhdenie po mukam) is a Soviet 1957-1959 three-part mini series directed by Grigoriy Roshal and based on the eponymous historical novel trilogy by Aleksey Nikolayevich Tolstoy. The series depict the fate of sisters Dasha and Katya Bulavins and their beloved ones, Ivan Telegin and Vadim Roshchin, during the Great War, Russian revolution and Russian Civil war.

The mini series is the first screen adaptation of the novel, followed by 1977 TV series, and 2017 TV series.


The following weapons were used in the film The Road to Calvary (Khozhdenie po mukam):


Revolvers

Nagant M1895

Nagant M1895 revolvers are most often used handguns in the series, notably used by Ivan Ilyich Telegin (Vadim Medvedev), Vadim Petrovich Roshchin (Nikolai Gritsenko), and Nestor Ivanovych Makhno, known as Bat'ka Makhno (Vitaliy Matveev).

Note: as there are too many Nagant-wielding characters, some screenshots are placed on talk page.

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.

Pocket Revolver

In one scene in "Sisters" (Part 1) Nikolay Ivanovich Smokovnikov (Viktor Sharlakhov) threatens his wife Ekaterina Dmitrievna (Rufina Nifontova) with a pocket revolver of unknown model. This is possibly a toy cap gun.

Pistols

Mauser C96

Mauser C96 pistols are often seen during the events of Russian civil war in "Eighteenth Year" and "Somber Morning", notably used by Bolshevik Chugai (Boris Andreyev), Red commanders Gymza (Mikhail Gladysh) and Sorokin (Evgeniy Matveev), and brigand Aleksey Krasilnikov (Leonid Parkhomenko).

Pocket pistol

In "Somber Morning" (Part 3) 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.

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.

Various pistols

In "Eighteenth Year" (Part 2) Samara militsioneers, subordinates of Semyon Govyadin, carry various pistols that are seen too unclear to be identified for sure.

One of Govyadin's men holds a large pistol that can be some M1911-style model.
A man at the right holds a pistol that seems to be hammerless and is possibly an FN Model 1903 (or TT-33, used as a substitution for FN 1903).

Rifles

Mosin Nagant M1891

Historically correct Mosin Nagant M1891 rifles are widely used during the events of Great War and Russian revolution and Civil war. Both Infantry and Dragoon models can be seen.

Note: as there are too many M91-wielding characters, some screenshots are placed on talk page.

Berdan No.2 Carbine

In one scene in Part 2 a Cossack of personal guard of White Army Commander-in-chief Gen. Denikin carries a carbine that appears to be outdated Berdan No.2 Carbine.

A family of Berdan No.2 rifles: 1 - Infantry rifle, 2 - Dragoon rifle, 3 - Cossack rifle, 4 - carbine. Drawing from Strelkovoye orujie ("Firearms") by Aleksandr Juck.
A Cossack at the right carries a Berdan carbine. Note the shape of the stock and the position of bolt handle.

Mannlicher M1888-90

In "Sisters" (Part 1) a guard in Austro-Hungarian camp for Russian POWs is armed with a Mannlicher rifle. It appears to be a pre-M1895 model, most likely M88-90 or M89.

Austro-Hungarian Steyr Mannlicher M1888-90 - 8x50mmR Mannlicher.
The magazine is separated from trigger guard which allows to differ this rifle from later Mannlicher M1895.
The bayonet is longer than standard Austro-Hungarian bayonets of the appropriated era and looks more like German bayonets for Gewehr 98.

Mauser Gewehr 98

Most Austro-Hungarian soldiers in "Sisters" (Part 1) are armed with Mauser Gewehr 98 rifles instead of correct Mannlichers. In "Somber Morning" (Part 3) several of Makhno's men carry Gewehr 98s.

Mauser Karabiner 98k

When Praporshik Ivan Telegin (Vadim Medvedev) makes a break from POW camp, he disarms an Austro-Hungarian soldier, carrying an anachronistic Karabiner 98k rifle.

Mauser Karabiner 98b

In the same scene another Russian officer, Capt. Zhukov (Pyotr Modnikov), also disarms a soldier and takes his rifle. This is a full-length Mauser with turned down bolt handle that appears to be a Karabiner 98b.

Capt. Zhukov disarms the convoy...
...and beats him with the buttstock of the rifle.
But he is shot by a soldier on watchtower.

Simonov SKS

Incredibly out of time Simonov SKS carbines are seen in battle scenes in "Somber Morning" (Part 3).

Assault Rifles

AK-47

In one scene in "Somber Morning" (Part 3) wounded Telegin, being in fever, has a surrealistic nightmare of attacking White troops, armed with nothing less that AK-47 assault rifles.

Machine Guns

Maxim M1910/30

Other Weapons

RG-14 Hand Grenade
