An activity not likely to set too well with the local mullahs.

A 2018 film, "Decision: Liquidation" on Tubi also is about Russian FSB operatives in Transcaucusus.

[Regnum] The film company "Triix Media" began filming the action-packed series "SPETSY" in the Dzheyrakhsky District of Ingushetia, dedicated to the FSB special forces. This was reported on July 24 by REN TV, which ordered the film.

On the first day of filming, the scene of the militant leader's arrest was shot. The production team plans to actively involve local actors and residents of the republic in the work. Filming will take place in different regions of the Caucasus, as well as in Crimea and the Arctic.

The project is based on real events and will show in detail for the first time the operations of the FSB Special Purpose Center (SPC). The main characters are collective images of special forces soldiers who participated in the liquidation of the terrorist group "Imarat Kavkaz" (an organization whose activities are banned in the Russian Federation), which operated in the North Caucasus from 2007 to 2015.
The Caucasus Emirate was an Al Qaeda franchise led by Chechen warlord Dokka Umarov that derived from the post-Soviet Republic of Ichkeria and in 2015 changed allegiance to ISIS under the name Vilayat Kavkaz, whereupon a majority chose to escape the Spetsnaz hunting them by making hijra to the caliphate in Syria — those that survived the reconquest and the SDF prison camps are about to become the property of the HTS government of Syria, which will be educational, one way or another.
The series will also reveal details of special operations in Crimea and the Arctic.

"The series "SPETSY" is our first project for the REN TV channel. And we are very happy about this cooperation. The series is addressed primarily to a male audience, but will also be interesting to women," said Inessa Yurchenko, general producer of Triix Media.

She emphasized that the company has significant experience in creating rating projects about law enforcement agencies.

The central character of the series is a graduate of the Ryazan Higher Airborne School Igor Larionov, played by Denis Donskoy. He ends up in the TsSN group and takes part in dangerous operations. As the plot progresses, it becomes clear that the events that happen to him are links in a chain in the geopolitical confrontation between Russia and the West.
