Trotsky is a 2017 Russian TV series, a biopic of Leon (Lev Davydovich) Trotsky starring Konstantin Khabenskiy. The plot is structured as a series of flashbacks to various episodes of Trotsky's biography, framed by the events of his life and eventual death in Mexico in 1940.

The following weapons were used in the television series Trotsky:



Revolvers

Nagant M1895

Nagant M1895 revolvers are widely used throughout the series. They are seen in hands of Leon Trotsky (Konstantin Khabenskiy), Josef Stalin (Orkhan Abulov), and many other revolutionaries, along with Red Army commanders and Chekists. Both pre- and post-1930 versions are seen.

A rubber- and gas-firing Rhöner SM 15 pistol, used as a stand-in for an early 20th century pocket pistol, is used by Vladimir Efstafyevich Skalon (Sergey Bezrukov), former General of the Russian Army and the military expert during the peace negotiations in Brest-Litovsk. In Trotsky's nightmare in Mexico, he sees Skalon handing him the pistol for suicide.

Submachine Guns

During Siqueiros' raid on Trotsky's villa in May 1940, the attackers are armed with various submachine guns. While in reality a single Thompson together with several revolvers were used, here we see a variety of guns, none of which fit for 1940. This scene was filmed in Mexico that explains the usage of weapons that are not common for Russian cinema.

Custom Sten Mk II

One of the guns of the attackers is a Sten Mk II, fitted with a pistol grip in the place of the buttstock. The submachine gun also has some muzzle device, possibly a blank firing adapter.

Rifles

Mosin Nagant M1891/30 and M1891 Dragoon

Mosin Nagant rifles are seen in hands of Russian Imperial soldiers and police and Red Army men, including the so-called "leather hundred" of Trotsky's personal bodyguards. Most of these guns are M1891/30 rifles. Some lack the hood on the front sight and these may be M1891 Dragoons or the pre-1935 version of the M91/30.

Machine Guns

Maxim M1910

During the revolutionary events of 1905, Russian Imperial soldiers use a Maxim M1910 machine gun (the version of the Maxim first issued to the Russian Army in 1905 was mounted on a large artillery-style carriage, while the Sokolov mount seen here would appear five years later). A Maxim is also seen during the events of the October Revolution of 1917.

Trotsky's Armored Train

During the Russian Civil War, Trotsky is the chairman of the Supreme Military Council and uses a personal armored train as his mobile headquarters. In the series, the train is a computer generated image.
