Demon of the Revolution (Demon revolyutsii) is a 2017 Russian historical TV series. The plot is set in 1915-1917 and depicts the activities of the Russian revolutionary Alexander Parvus (Fyodor Bondarchuk). In the series, Parvus is depicted as the intermediary between the German General Staff and the Russian Bolsheviks and the organiser of Vladimir Lenin's travel back to Russia from Switzerland through Germany in April 1917 (all this issue is highly controversial, and a lot of different opinions exist).
Except for the 6-part TV series, released in 2017, the 8-part Director's cut also exists; it was released in 2018 under the title Memorandum Parvusa (Parvus' Memorandum). A two-part theatrical release under the title Lenin. Neizbezhnost (Lenin. Inevitability' English release title The Lenin Factor) appeared in 2019. The current page is based on 6-part release.
The following weapons were used in the television series Demon of the Revolution (Demon revolyutsii):
Revolvers
Nagant M1895
Nagant M1895 revolvers are used by Russian revolutionaries Leonid Borisovich Krasin (Dmitriy Ulyanov), Jakub Stanislavovich Ganetsky (Dmitriy Lysenkov) and Khromov (Sergei Legostaev), Parvus' bodyguard Grisha (Sergey Gromov), officers of Russian counterintellegence service Rotmistr (Capt.) Aleksey Nikolaevich Mezentsev (Maksim Matveev), Col. Vasiliy Georgievich Turkestanov (Aleksandr Baluev), and some Russian officers and NCOs. Nagants are also used by Danish police; in this case Nagants are used as a replacement for Danish M1880/85 revolvers.
Both pre- and post-1930 revolvers are seen. Sometimes these models switch to each other due to numerous continuity error.
Harrington & Richardson Model 733
Parvus' emissary Sofiya Rudneva (Paulina Andreeva) carries an inappropriate Harrington & Richardson Model 733 which can be conditionally considered as a replacement for a Bulldog revolver. The nickel finish allows to identify the revolver as Model 733, contrary Model 732 which is the same gun except for the blued finish. This particular H&R revolver can be seen in several Russian movies and TV series of 2010s, filmed on Mosfilm.

FN Model 1922
