Yep, Russian infantry with their Maxim on a Sokolov mount. It is an older model without the "snow cap" feature. Russian Maxims can be easely identified by the peculiar ammo can, if it is present, which has virtually not changed to this day.
The link I posted above shows this "snow cap" modification to good advantage in the red line drawing of a Russian Maxim and the photo just below it.
David, The other Sokolov photo does indeed show a German modification, which allows the mount to be raised.
Great photos!!
