"Child 44" - a movie about life in stalinist Russia.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Child_44_(film)

There are traitors everywhere.
It's your patriotic duty to rat out traitors.
If someone accuses you of being a traitor, you are a traitor who knows other traitors.
Traitors get executed.

When a child gets murdered, the protagonist finds out another rule of life under Stalinism: Murder is fake news. Murder is a disease that only exists in capitalist societies. There are no murders in Soviet Russia.
