One reason I doubted the gun was real without even looking at it is that Russia is not exactly a nation dedicated to individual gun rights, and having a real gun to show off in a video seems, to put it mildly, unlikely.
As for blanks, yes, there is some recoil when firing a blank, though obviously not as much as when firing a bullet. Recoil is the opposite reaction to the movement of the projectile forward. With a blank the projectile is not a solid bullet, but the hot gas and powder residue, as well as the wad (if any) have mass and there is some recoil. In this case, I think the gun is a pure dummy and will not even fire blanks so that volume of smoke is being generated by something else, like dry ice in a bucket.
