“The video shows Russian President Putin stopping his walk in reverence of the Indian national anthem, as it was played.”
What FACTLY found
The video showing Russian President Putin stopping his walk in reverence of the Indian national anthem is edited. In the original footage from the Luzhniki Sports Palace in Moscow on 23–24 September 2011, during the Congress of the All-Russian Political Party “United Russia,” Putin is seen standing while the USSR national anthem was played, not the Indian national anthem.
