Rendar is right about the rifle but (no pun intended) Ben is right about the men. Was a "feal good" propaganda photo.

Definately PTRD-1941

Later, after the war, the same 14.5mm cartridge was used in Vladimirov's heavy machine gun, called "Anti-tank MG". It's still the main weapon of Soviet BTR armoured carriers.
This antitank rifles were really effective, especially in early war.
