Just ran across this link and its a hoot to watch. When I was a 14 year old with my first rifle (Marlin M25 22 bolt), my White Russian mother would all ways call it my Vintoka. Here's a song dedicated to the Mosin Vintoka. I can only make out about half of what they are saying but its clearly a tribute to the strength and reliability of the Mosin.
