That looks like a Soviet WW2-era Maxim machine gun, the PM M1910/30 (which was based on a Maxim gun).

Here's another view:

The future is all around us, waiting, in moments of transition, to be born in moments of revelation. No one knows the shape of that future or where it will take us. We know only that it is always born in pain.   -G'Kar

I shall never forget the way
Russians botched the offensive that day
Whatever they do and whatever they try
In the 21st century the drones will fly
So we do not care that they have got
The Maxim gun and we have not
We have, accordingly, always had plenty of excellent lawyers, though we often had to do without even tolerable administrators, and seen destined to endure the inconvenience of hereafter doing without any constructive statesmen at all.
--Woodrow Wilson
