The Intervention (Interventsiya) is a 1969 Soviet adventure tragicomedy movie directed by Gennadi Poloka. The story takes place during the Russian Civil war in the city of Odessa which is under the control of White Army and French troops. The main character of the movie is a Red revolutionary Eugeni Brodsky (Vladimir Vysotskiy) who agitates French soldiers to support the Russian revolution. The story is partially based on real events of the rebellion of French sailors in Russia in 1919.
The following weapons were used in the film The Intervention (Interventsiya):
Nagant M1895 revolvers are used by various characters including White Army officers, Red revolutionaries and criminals. Both pre-1930 and post-1930 versions can be seen.
In the scene of the robbery of Xidias' bank several robbers carry compact Smith & Wesson revolvers. These revolvers can be Smith & Wesson 4th Model but they are never seen clear enough to be identified for sure.
In one scene several alabaster statues hold Enfield rifles. It's hard to say if these rifles are British Pattern M1914 or American M1917 but the shape of stock better matches the USA version.
