Is it possible to post screenshots from the game on the site, are copyrights violated, as per the law?

Here it is necessary to make sites about games, to expose screenshots, but how does this work under copyright?
Screenshot on the site is it possible or not?
PS: I know that everyone takes screenshots and videos on YouTube, but according to the law, how are things going?
Maybe, by default, game companies always don't mind showing the game?

It is possible, but with reservations.
According to Art. 1274 of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation Free use of a work for informational, scientific, educational or cultural purposes "It is allowed without the consent of the author or other copyright holder and without payment of remuneration, but with the obligatory indication of the name of the author whose work is used and the source of borrowing:
1) citation in the original and in translation for scientific, polemical, critical or informational purposes of lawfully published works to the extent justified by the purpose of citation, including the reproduction of excerpts from newspaper and magazine articles in the form of press reviews.
It follows from this that you can post screenshots on the site for informational purposes, etc. In this case, you must specify the exact official name of the game, as well as the author or company. You can't take multiple screenshots from one game. In any case, the right holder should not be harmed. Therefore, you can not put 100 screenshots from one game, and even each screen size, because. this reveals the secrets of the game. I think you can put 5-10 screenshots of a small size. That's how copyright works.
I didn’t contact game companies, I don’t know if they always don’t mind showing the game.
