This mortar is over-caliber. The Russo-Japanese War (1904-1905) showed the significance of close-range guns firing fragmentation shells and serving to prepare and repel attacks, and defeat troops behind cover. This experience was taken into account during World War I when many depth-charge mortars were developed, and their systems were improved.
During the Russian Civil war (1917-1922), an active guerilla movement was launched in the taiga forests of Tarsky uyezd. Many of the partisans had participated in World War I. During the Civil war, they made extemporized weapons analogs. The museum also houses other improvised weapon — pikes.
Former Volost Council chairman and revolutionary Artyom Izbyshev organized and headed a partisan unit in the Sedelnikovskaya Volost.
In December 1918, the unit raided the White militia in Sedelnokovo from Novo-Mikhailovka to get weapons and ammunition. Then the partisans went to the forest and set up a camp near the village of Dmitriyevka.
In the early spring of 1919, an uprising broke out in the village of Ryasany, Muromtsevsky District near the partisan’s camp. The peasants from the local villages joined the insurgents. They defeated the death squad of the White Cossacks, which were sent from Omsk, by the village of Suhimka.
The guerrilla movement in Tarsky, Tyukalinsky, Atbasarsky, and other uezds was led by the Bolsheviks sent by the underground committee. People started to prepare for a general uprising. On March 20–21, 1919, the Third Siberian Underground Bolshevik Conference was held in Omsk. 20 delegates represented the 11 largest party organizations of the Urals, Siberia, and the Far East. The conference participants paid special attention to organizing the guerrilla movement in Siberia and coordinating the actions of the Bolsheviks with the Red Army offensive warfare.
Just after the conference, many regional committee members were arrested and executed. In the summer of 1919, the leaders of the Tarsky uezd partisan units developed a plan of an armed intervention. The partisans suggested invading Tara, releasing political prisoners, and then fighting the way to Tobolsk to join the Red Army.
On June 15, 1919, the partisan units, among which was the unit of Artyom Izbyshev, occupied Sedelnikovo by combined attacks. The partisans organized meetings in all liberated villages, explained the aims of the fight to the locals, and mobilized people for their army.
