The clips actually show Putin on January 27, 2026, placing red roses at Piskaryovskoye Memorial Cemetery in St. Petersburg to honor the 82nd anniversary of the Nazi siege of Leningrad being lifted—and to remember his older brother Viktor, who died at age two from starvation during the blockade. Ayatollah Ali Khamenei was killed in U.S.-Israeli airstrikes on Tehran late Saturday, prompting Putin's sharp condemnation as a 'cynical violation' but no such memorial from him. While ordinary Russians left tributes at Iran's embassy in Moscow, the recycled footage—complete with fake news graphics—spread rapidly before users and fact-checkers corrected it by noting the cemetery's snowy hills and prior coverage.

Key Takeaway

Videos circulating online depict Putin laying flowers for Iran's slain leader, but they capture a poignant family moment from two months ago.

Mojtaba Khamenei, 56, was elected Supreme Leader by Iran's Assembly of Experts following his father's death around February 28, 2026, amid reports of Israeli strikes on the assembly and nationwide protests.
