Summary
The documentary Mr Nobody Against Putin exposes how Russian schools are being used for pro-war indoctrination.
Directed by former teacher Pavel Talankin, the film captures students forced to march, study propaganda-filled history books, and attend speeches by war veterans, including ex-Wagner fighters.
Some teachers embrace nationalism, while others feel trapped. Facing mounting threats, Talankin fled Russia in 2024 with footage documenting the militarization of youth.
He hopes the film, which won a Sundance award, will reveal the extent of Putin’s ideological control over education.
Reads off like a preview of the United States in the very near future
Dictators eventually use the same playbook.
So what I’m reading, is they released a documentary for Trump to follow for America.
He’ll have a much easier time seeing it on TV than being given the orders by putin in verbal or written form.
Anyone else think Mr Nobody has pretty much committed a delayed suicide, his best chance is probably to live somewhere very remote with new credentials.
Brave guy though trying to make a difference but he’s almost certainly put himself on Putins list.
Sounds worth a watch.
