      Fact Check

      A reverse image search on a keyframe from the video led us to an article published on a website zen.yandex.by on October 14, 2019.


      The article reported that the video was actually a scene from a war-based film. The article identifies one of the actors in the clip as Maxim Zapisochny, a Ukrainian who played a Russian soldier in the film. The film was based on the war in Chechnya.

      According to the article 'This actor from Ukraine, who played the Russian soldier in the war in Chechnya, was tried to be found by the Militants, the Militants wanted to avenge their soldiers, but they did not understand that these shots in the film were staged (Sic)'.

      We found an article published on a website trinixy.ru which stated that the clip has been taken from a French-Georgian film 'The Search'.

      Taking cue, we did a keyword search on YouTube with keywords 'french film on chechnya search' translated in Russian.

      (Russian: французский фильм о поиске в чечне)

      BOOM found that the movie was uploaded on YouTube on March 29, 2021. The film has been directed by Michel Hazanavicius and the star cast does include Maxim Zapisochny.

      We watched the film and found the clipped portion at the timestamp between 3.41 and 5.35.

      The description with the video states that the film is about the second Chechen war. The film had been nominated for the Palme d'Or in the main section of the 2014 Cannes Film Festival.
