This video is about the Finnish civil war of 1918. On one side was the White army, on the other is the Red (communist) army. At 2:09 of the video there is a young Red soldier with a Winchester 1895 musket, of which Russia had purchased hundreds of thousands. So the Finnish Red soldier must have gotten the rifle from the then Soviet government. The Finnish Whites won the civil war, only to later fight two wars against the Soviet Union, and the Finns prevailed in both.
As in most all civil wars, the Finnish civil war was horrible in it's duration and aftermath. The White faction executed and starved to death tens of thousands of Red prisoners.
