Re: Movies: find it!
Just look for some RA3 videos at Youtube. Pay special attention to a sniper girl´s rifle.

Re: Movies: find it!
My favorite scene in Hunt for Red October is when Tim Curry looks up adoringly at Sean Connery when he says he is going to scuttle the ship and the doctor says "you will get the order of lenin for this".
It was ruined for me later on when I realized from the publicity still that Raimus already had the the order of lenin. I guess "you will be a hero of the soviet union" didn't flow off the tongue as well. Appreciation though for K19 Widowmaker is that the WMD suits and respirators the crew wore into the leaking reactor looked period. |

After that, I was told that´s the way former east bloc people work, solving serious problems from scratch and such.

Ah now i remember a game where there are soviet awards... The game is "sturmovik" a combat flight simulator game. all were highly modified by me in custom fantasy variations to apply for a browser game... i restored them deleting all layers but some changes were made directly on the bitmap layer and so there's no way to revert back. Sorry. Some orders are not even in the game and made from scratch/photo. Last edited by CtahhR; 11-28-2012 at 09:28 AM. |

Re: Movies: find it!
Anyone can tell me if there were left handed moisin nagant?
Because as you can see this bolt action rifle (see poster) as the handle on the left side... also because Vassili uses a right handed one in the film |

Re: Movies: find it!
I really like those awards.
And I am not sure about those lefty nagants. But in truth I have heard that some gun nuts and collectors customize their mosin-nagants for a left hand bolt. Anybody notice anything wrong with the uniforms of Soviet soldiers in the new Indiana Jones movie? |

Re: Movies: find it!
Finished watching "Hot Snow", "Blazing Snow" or similar translated title. Not a great movie for acting or plot but I watch them to practice listening to Russian. Uniforms looked OK although you would be surprised at how nice and clean the overcoats were outside Stalingrad in late 1942/early 1943. (Also Manstein apparently had an ungodly number of Tigers to try and break through to Paulus...although I would say these were visually passable Tigers considering they started their lives as T-34's.)
My question relates to an event at the end where the few survivors of an anti-tank regiment were awarded on the spot orders of red banner. They tossed them in a mess cup with vodka and passed the cup around as a toast their awards and those who didn't make it. Such a ceremony exist? |

The order washing ceremony exists. Also, when an officer gets promoted, his new shoulder boards stars are traditionally "vodka cleaned". As you watch more Russian movies, you will see similar scene again. My dad and his friends vodka washed their college graduation badges. During the war, army commanders had an authority to award orders and medals in the name of the Supreme Soviet. A great article on the subject is written by retired Soviet officer Yuri Veremeev: Ïîðÿäîê íàãðàæäåíèÿ â ãîäû âîéíû sov-nagrady.shtml Since you are learning Russian, it will be an interesting exercise for you. The article mentions Hot Snow scene. Events of the movie take place in 1942. At that time, army comm. had the authority to award Nevsky at most. In 1943, army comm. award giving powers were extended up to ORB. Cheers, Simon |
