The article discusses how Pavel Talankin, a high school teacher in Karabash, Russia, opposed the Kremlin's militarization of education amidst the Ukraine war. Ordered to document pro-war propaganda in schools, Talankin secretly recorded the changes impacting his community and students. This footage ultimately led to the documentary 'Mr Nobody Against Putin,' which showcases the darker side of state-controlled education. By reaching out to independent media, he took a courageous stance against oppressive ideology and earned recognition at the Sundance Film Festival, where the film won an award for its poignant message.
Talankin realized the material documenting Putin's war and its impact on children in Russia must be preserved, leading to the creation of the documentary 'Mr Nobody Against Putin.'
Under the guise of compliance, Talankin embarked on a dangerous mission to reveal the Kremlin's true narrative in education amidst a climate of censorship.
