From what I remember reading several recent Russian WWII films used weapons, uniforms, vehicles,etc.. that were from those depots - i.e. you arent looking at reproductions you are looking at the real weapons and equipment that have been held in storage the whole time

and there was a lot of WWII armor around as well into the 90's - the Yugoslav's had operational Hellcats and Shermans (they fought in the civil war in the 90's), the Mexicans and Paraguayans have Stuarts and Shermans (Mexican Shermans were engineer vehicles only, not tanks), Chile had Shermans in service into the 90's, the Uruguayan Army still has M24's in service, the Albanians had T-34/85's, lots of countries still had Greyhounds, let alone all the guys who bought and preserved equipment in the US, UK, France, etc.
