| ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Say a Word for the Poor Hussar (original title O bednom gusare zamolvite slovo) is a Soviet 1980 made for TV historical tragicomedy movie directed by Eldar Ryazanov. In mid-19th century Russia Count Merzlyaev (Oleg Basilashvili) is sent with a special mission to a hussar regiment, based in a provincial town. Several hussar officers are suspected of participation in a conspiracy, and Merzlyaev has a plan to test them. The most important element of this plan is an actor Afanasy Bubentsov (Evgeni Leonov) who has to appear in the role of a "conspirator".
The following weapons were used in the film Say a Word for the Poor Hussar (O bednom gusare zamolvite slovo):
Percussion Cap Pistol
Various Percussion Cap Pistols are seen in hands of Cornet Aleksey Pletnyov (Stanislav Sadalskiy) and some other hussar officers (Vladimir Nosik, Valeriy Pogoreltsev, Nikolay Kochegarov), Colonel Ivan Pokrovsky (Valentin Gaft) and Count Merzlyaev (Oleg Basilashvili). In the climactic scene Afanasy Bubentsov (Evgeni Leonov) holds a pistol.
Infantry Musket M1845
Soldiers and prison guards, including jailer Stepan (Viktor Pavlov), are seen with percussion cap muskets that appear to be Russian M1845s. In the climactic scene Cornet Aleksey Pletnyov (Stanislav Sadalskiy) grabs a musket.
