Mutiny (Myatezh) is a 1929 (filmed 1928) Soviet B&W silent war movie directed by Semyon Timoshenko and based on the same title story by Dmitriy Furmanov. In 1920, during the Russian Civil War, a Red Army battalion, stationed in the fortress of Verniy (modern Almaty, Kazakhstan), receives an order to march to front, but the battalion commander incites his men to mutiny against the Bolsheviks. A group of Bolsheviks under the leadership of commissar Furmanov, have to withstand the mutineers until the Red cavalry comes on rescue.


The following weapons were used in the film Mutiny (Myatezh):

A large "tube", seen in center, is supposed to be a Lewis, nearly only portable machine gun with such thick barrel shroud. Other guess may be an MG08/15 but this weapon is rarely seen in Soviet films while Lewis guns are much more common.
