This video explores the Soviet M1927 Shashka, a distinctive curved sword used by Cossack cavalry during the Soviet era, particularly through World War Two. It details the shashka's evolution, including design simplifications for wartime production and its eventual reintroduction of decorative elements. The video highlights features like the ability to stow a Mosin-Nagant bayonet on the scabbard and explains why this feature was removed with the advent of carbines and submachine guns.
