enemy at the gates is a fictionalized film about Vasily Zaitsev, a highly decorated soviet sniper
in the film, he is forced to charge the nazis without a rifle
I remember reading a comprehensive takedown of the movie once, and how the actual river crossing depicted in the infamous scene was done by a well-equipped and already-veteran unit that spent days prior training for it and then crossed uncontested in the middle of the night.
Someone I know told me the Russians were resorting to handing out old Mosin Nagants to troops
As if the soviet union and later Russia haven't had factories churning out ak-47s and derivatives for 70+ years now
Call of duty 1 Stalingrad level of ignorant
Enemy at the gates was one of the most successful pieces of propaganda of this generation
literally just taking rumors about the sorry state of the Russian army in 1917 and transposing them into 1942
Can you give a brief synopsis for us non g*mers?

Oh I thought it was from the CoD campaign
It’s both, the game took inspiration from the movie
DPR/LPR did use Mosin rifles for rear area troops for a while, until Russia provided them with enough AKs.
