Urgent... Secret... Gubcheka (Srochno... sekretno... Gubcheka; "Gubcheka" is a short for "Gubernial CheKa") is a 1982 Soviet adventure movie directed by Aleksandr Kosarev. The plot is set in 1921 in Yakutia, during the Russian Civil War. The Whites plan to pay for the Japanese assistance by a payload of valuable furs. The Gubcheka sends a special unit across enemy lines. The unit successfully seizes the furs, but the guide of the unit is killed in action, so the return through the tayga is impossible. A new guide moves to meet the unit across the territory, controlled by Whites.


The following weapons were used in the film Urgent... Secret... Gubcheka (Srochno... sekretno... Gubcheka):
