Sledstvie Veli is a long-running Russian television documentary series in which presenter Leonid Kanevsky recounts real criminal cases, mainly from the Soviet era, reconstructing investigations step by step. Its recognisable theme has become shorthand in Russian-language videos and memes for starting a mock investigation, much like the Law and Order sting marks a serious turn in a case. Creators keep using it because the music alone tells viewers that evidence is coming and that someone is about to be caught out.
