The title notes are not in Russian, but Ukrainian. For instance, in Still 1 Kyiv (Kiev) is spelled in Ukrainian, not Russian.
In still 3, the date of 16 June, 1927 is in Ukrainian, not Russian (the names of months are completely different in Ukrainian and Russian).
In still 5, building is written in Ukrainian, not Russian (again, totally different words).
In still 5, body is spelled in Ukrainian, not Russian.

The film apparently is related to Andriy Ivanov who died in 1927, see

Since the still location is Ukraine and the title language is Ukrainian, it is likely the film was made at either the Odesa (Odessa) Film Studio or the Kyiv Film Studio of the 1920s.
