If this was a state (Soviet) sponsored production, I wonder who could/would claim ownership.

Does it matter? Isn't it still illegal to host it, as long as you don't have the right/license to show it?

It would be a civil tort (If my terminology is correct) and reliant on someone to attempt to enforce their ownership.

"Illegal" implies criminal infringement.

And specifically in the case of YouTube, they are covered under the safe harbour provisions of the DMCA and if a claim is received against this video would proceed accordingly.
