The White List (Russian: Белый список, translit. Beliy Spisok) is a 2023 Russian police procedural drama film directed by Alisa Khazanova from the script by Roman Volobuev and starring Aleksei Serebryakov. The film is loosely based on the events surrounding the police investigation of Blue Whale Challenge controversy in 2016.

Plot

In the midst of a nationwide moral panic caused by a newspaper article linking a recent spike in teenage suicides across Russia to a viral 'suicide game' two federal investigators are sent to a small Russian town of Podolsk to review a cold case involving a suspicious death of a schoolgirl. Initially seeing their task as a mere PR stunt both gradually start to lose their focus as they venture deeper into the paranoid world of conspiracy theories surrounding the case.
