The image included in the post is a screen grab from a Mongolian film
An image shared on Instagram purportedly shows the last photo of Mongolian Queen Genepil before she was executed in 1938. Verdict: Misleading Though the description of Queen Genepil’s death is mostly accurate, the image included in the post is a screen grab from a 2000 Mongolian film. It is not an authentic photograph of the queen. The Instagram post shows a woman in royal garb being led through a desert area by two uniformed soldiers with rifles. “The last photo taken of Genepil, the last Queen of Mongolia moments before she was executed by orders of Stalin during the cultural erasure of Soviet Mongolia and Stalinization,” reads the caption of the Instagram post, which goes on to claim the queen was five months pregnant at the time of her death.
