Two months have passed since the shocking video of a teenager being assaulted appeared, but the investigation into the criminal case has reached a dead end. During this time, no victims have been found, and most importantly, it turned out that neither the school nor the students from Uralmash mentioned in the publication exist.

On June 8, a video appeared on one of the Telegram channels showing a group of unknown individuals mockingly abusing a teenager. The clip was captioned: "New World Order from Uralmash." In the footage, a young man is seen kneeling, while one of the attackers points a gun at him. Threats and obscene language are audible. Then the teenager is kicked in the head, followed by punches to the face and body. The recording cuts off with the operator saying: “That’s it, let's go from here.”
The video caused widespread resonance, and the Investigative Committee of the Ordzhonikidzevsky district initiated a criminal case under articles for hooliganism and unlawful confinement. However, further investigation has reached a dead end.
— "For two months, we questioned teachers, principals, deputy principals — but we have no such schools. And these are not our children. We would have recognized them. It seems someone made a ‘disinformation drop,’ and now we are dealing with the fallout," a well-informed source told E1.RU.
Later, it was revealed that the name "Uralmash" was used in the publication as a reference to criminal themes, and the video itself previously appeared in publics associated with Khimki in the Moscow region.
— "Most likely, this is not our city. Or perhaps the video is entirely staged."
The Investigative Committee is currently refraining from official comments.
