The result was SNOW DELETE, and borderline CSD anyway. No point in going 7 days when the outcome is this certain. Dennis Brown - 2¢ © Join WER 16:30, 6 March 2013 (UTC) reply
A blatant hoax, and seems to be one of the longest-living hoaxes we have. None of the sources exist. The seacrh in Russian (Юрий Гадюкин) does not give anything at all. The name (Gadyukin) is a made-up family name used by
Yury Iosifovich Koval
Viktor Dragunsky in one of the children's stories (Death of the spy Gadyukin). The alleged name of the first movie, Where the tractors roam, sounds so funny in Russian that it just could not have been shot in the 1950s. Needless to say, the movie was indeed never shot, and the search in Russian gives zero results. The Bucharest Film Festival, where Gadyukin allegedly got a prize, is a hoax as well and is currently on AfD. (Note that both articles were created by single-purpose accounts). See
Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Bucharest Film Festival for more reasoning.
