From the brief and rather lame video clip, yeah, it's being shown by Ataman. And doing a bit of searching I find them listed at the very bottom of the Ataman site's 'air rifle' page:http://ataman-guns.com/product/5Shown in four versions - long and short barrelled versions, each with grip panels or a moulded grip, so really two pistols, two grips. The long-barrelled .22" version shows a maximum export model energy of 18.44fpe! Yikes! With 20 shots per fill... at that power level? Wow. Looks like they're all in .22", and the short-barrelled ones deliver a maximum of 14.75fpe for 15 shots. Impressive. Bet they'd give something over 50 shots per fill if dialed back to Canadian sub-500fps limits. Make a heck of a fun plinker. No use for formal target shooting though as that's .177" only.
The MRODair pistol looks like a nice design, but every time I look at the grip I think somebody bolted on a chunk of wood and didn't finish the work....I like the looks of the russian pistol, it would make an interesting sidearm for plinking and pesting. But I don't think I'm ready to drop 8 C-notes on one.

Going to try this week to see how much power I can get out of it, but take a look at this review for some shot strings I was able to get out of it with only adjusting the hammer spring preload and the transfer port: http://www.airgunsarp.com/2016/01/28/best-bang-for-your-pcp-pistol-buck-reviewing-the-mrodair-airmax-precision-match-pcp-pistol/The Ataman Pistol is pretty amazing. Very smooth sidelever, and it has an option for a longer barrel. With the long barrel, it is supposed to produce 20fpe. Add to that the fact that it is rated (at this time) at a 300bar fill, and it should have a decent shot count. From what I was told at SHOT, the price on it is probably going to be $1000+ rather than the $800 someone quoted, but you don't know till they get more release info. It did for certain handle much more like a 1911 than the Mrodair Airmax Precision Match PCP Pistol, but considering you can probably get three for the price of the Ataman, some differences are to be expected
