Ivanka Kozyrnyy and the Tractor Tachanka

Trotsky has not been slow to consider mechanisation since he took command of the Red Army. Resources are a problem for the Bolsheviks, but of course, for Trotsky himself, nothing is too much trouble. He already has three armoured cars on his massive, armoured rail-cruiser, named Revvoyensovet. Here we see Trotsky’s Chief Engineer, Ivanka Kozyrnyy experimenting with a tractor tachanka. Ivanka is impatiently awaiting the arrival of a Maxim MG to arm the tachanka.

Thanks Dave. I'm going to add a Maxim MG to the trailer!
