Silva is a Soviet 1981 two-part made for TV musical comedy directed by Yan Frid. It is a screen adaptation of operetta "The Csárdás Princess" by Hungarian composer Emmerich Kálmán.

Note: while the name of titular character is Sylva, this movie is worldwide known under the direct transliteration of Russian title "Сильва", hence "i" is used instead of "y".

The following weapons were used in the film Silva:

Luger P08
