22 lr. hand-made revolver.
__TOC__<br clear="all">
These revolvers were made in<br /> '90s by one of gangs which operated at Moscow suburbs.
Some people wrongly take it for the Nagant.[[Image:2130974.jpg|thumb|right|200px|The same model, but in the other make.]]


1st ''Danila'''s gun in the movie. He got it when he knocked out a mobster who was trying to get merchandises from ''Hoffman''.
== Handmade Revolver ==
During the film ''Danila'' used this revolver time and again.
Danila's first gun is a locally-produced .22 LR revolver (which apparently has no official name). Cheap revolvers such as this one were produced in the 1990s by one of the gangs which operated out of the Moscow Suburbs. Many people wrongly identify it as a Nagant revolver, due to the somewhat similar appearance to a Nagant.
At first it has frightened two impudent Caucasians in a tram.

Brother (Brat) is a 1997 cult Russian thriller film directed by Aleksey Balabanov. The story revolves around a young Russian man named Danila (Sergei Bodrov Jr.), who goes to join his older brother in St. Petersburg. But Danila's older sibling is a gangster and a cold-blooded contract-killer. Danila is asked to kill someone, and soon learns that he finds killing easier than living (people who don't speak Russian may find it ironic and humorous that the Russian word for "brother" is "brat", so any of us who have brothers will find humor in that translation.)
