* Writers of Russian detective series ''Series/{{Trace}}'' use this trope time to time. The best examples are:
** In "A Trap in Time", a businessman obsessed with the idea of time travel suddenly finds himself [[BeCarefulWhatYouWishFor in Nazi-occupied Pskov, captured by the Nazis as an apparent spy]]. He manages to escape, shooting the German officer who interrogated him, and soon finds himself (and the officer's dead body) back in the 21st century. [[spoiler:The "time travel" was an elaborate but harmless prank, a gift from his friends, but the director of the company that staged it deliberately put real shells into the gun, since he had a personal vendetta against the actor who played the officer]].
** "Wormhole" begins with a Soviet car discovered in a forest, with an old man in Soviet clothing who insists he is a high-ranked Communist party member and refuses to believe he is not in the [=USSR=]. [[spoiler:The old man ''was'' a high-ranked Soviet official, but fled in 1978 under an assumed name to avoid investigation and has been mentally ill since the [=1990s=]. The apparent time travel was a setup by two conspirators to make their victim remember where he had buried his illegally-acquired treasure]].
** "Seeking Charon" focuses on the murder of the mobster Kirill Kuzin. His corpse was found dressed in a typical [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_Russians "New Russian"]] style, which was typical for [[UsefulNotes/TheNewRussia the 90s]]. In fact, he spent 25 years in Portuguese prison and was completely out of touch with the world. For example, he had no idea about the smartphones or broadband Internet.

Parvana Whitcomb (the woman standing next to Captain Bateson in the episode) arguably had it even worse. After being freed from the loop she learned that her husband and daughter later died in an attack, and her only surviving family member was her formerly younger brother Jamshid - who died two months after Parvana was rescued at the age of 110.
