Rasputin (2011): Difference between revisions
Rasputin is a 2011 Franco Russian television movie directed by Josée Dayan. As an itinerant preacher and healer, the Siberian peasant Rasputin travels through the Russian Empire. When even the pious Tsarina Alexandra invited him to court, his work aroused the disfavor of the Russian generals. With the entry into the war in 1914, Rasputin's influence becomes ever more dangerous.
The following weapons were used in the film Rasputin:
Russian soldiers are mainly armed with Mosin Nagant M91/30 standing in for the Imperial variant. All the fighting scenes are taken from the 2008 Russian movie Admiral (Trivia: The main actor portraying Admiral Alexander Kolchak, Konstantin Khabensky, has also a minor role as Aron Simanovich, Rasputin's personal secretary).
Some accurate Mosin Nagant M1891 rifles are also used by Russian soldiers.
