Yes, it is a mate in one... but not so easy.
This strange problem (published in a newspaper in Paris, 1932) was composed by Vladimir Navokov, dedicated to 25th anniversary as an elite player in the master-Russian Evgueni Znosko Borovski.
The statement of the problem is the following:
White takes back last movement and takes checkmate in one.
The poet Vladimir Navokov
SOLUTION
There was a white pawn in d7, and it captured a black knight in c8, promotioning to rook.
Now, white takes back, and the pawn of d7 captures the rook of e8, promotioning to knight and takes checkmate.
