I was watching a show about of Russia on the History Channel yesterday. I only caught the last half hour where they talked about the fall of the last Royal family, the Romanovs, and the rise of the Bolsheviks/communism.
Anyway, they got to the part where the Bolsheviks famously tried to kill Rasputin by poisoning, stabbing, clubbing and untimately shooting him before dumping him into a river. The reenactment showed a Nagant revolver. Given that it was 1917 or 1918, is that historically accurate?
