Russian students are being presented with an ultra-nationalist curriculum, full of militarism and hatred toward Ukraine. The young teacher Pavel Talankin filmed the indoctrination of Russian children and smuggled the footage abroad for a documentary.
With his camera, this teacher documents life at a school in the Russian provinces. He shows how, after the invasion of Ukraine, propaganda and nationalism gradually seep into education. He has now fled the country.
While recording how the school carries out the government’s directives, he realizes he now has unique footage. Through contacts he gets in touch with an American director. Together they decide to make a documentary: “Mr. Nobody Against Putin.”
Since the invasion of Ukraine, new textbooks have been written in Russia in which the war against Ukraine is justified and excused. President Putin is rewriting history and shaping a new generation of loyal Putin supporters.
Meanwhile, the performance of ordinary students is declining, as becomes clear during staff meetings.
Talankin films everything, including the visit from the controversial Wagner Group and the forced military drills, such as shooting practice and grenade throwing.
To make this film, he had to flee, because criticizing President Putin’s new education policy is simply not possible in Russia.
Coming to theaters on 2026-01-15
Insane bravery. Talankin gave up almost everything in order to tell the world about this.
Remember, also, that among the children being indoctrinated into Russia’s new forever war are TWENTY. THOUSAND. Ukrainian children who have been stolen from their homes and forcibly resettled in Russian territory with Russian families.
Jeez the Russian imperialist boot lickers are out in force today. 👅👢
There’s a few lurking around Lemmy that are super committed to the bit. Multiple posts per day from Sputnik and RT, pile on whenever anyone calls out their propaganda.
Yeah, so many tagged accounts down below…
This is kinda one of the those no shit Sherlock TIL.
I pledge allegiance, to the Flag…
Kinda like how the US media works with China
True, but this post isn’t about the USA. Why try to make it about the USA?
Idiot. Did you forget that we invaded China years ago and have been in a brutal land war with them? Duh.
we invaded China years ago
I mean, we literally did this during the Korean War
This isn’t about the USA and this isn’t about china.
The way you’re intentionally trying to derail the conversation, and the age of your account, leave me pretty suspicious that you’re just a Russian bot farm account.
I was agreeing with you dude by joking about something equally absurd. Chill out.
this post isn’t about the USA
But it’s US agitprop, designed to scare westerners and poison them against any native Russian they encounter.
They can see everyone else’s propaganda but their own. They believe they are above being victims of propaganda
I’m sure I have some too for something. We have so many ads lol. People thinking that name brand is better than generic is a good example
Totally unlike what the US has been doing for decades
Superb whataboutism. Bravo! 👏
Why did you think this would be a meaningful contribution to this discussion?
Americans have this smug arrogance like they are immune to propaganda when they are the most propagandized country in the world.
You didn’t answer my question, you just repeated yourself.
Am I speaking to a real person or a bot?
Yes, it was meaningful contribution. Because while you’re busy talking about what other people are doing, you’re ignoring that you’re doing it yourself.
That also isn’t meaningfully contributing to the conversation.
But I know your purpose here is to derail the conversation, and this thread is accomplishing that goal, so I’ll end it here:
You’re not engaging in honest discussion, you’re trying to muddy the water because you support Russia.
Are Russians in the room with you right now?
Your typical Russia response is indicative of the level of propaganda you’ve drank down.
West is propagandized for Russophobia supporting a nazi puppet corrupt regime in a proxy war on Russia. That Russian students are taught the truth of the most demonic evil war in history… where at least Napoleon/Hitler were independent actors attempting greater empire ambitions for National supremacy, instead of a corrupt evil forcing the suicide of his people only for colonial service to puppetmaster’s vision that this would diminish Russia.
Most of the west is abject morons for believing the lie that Russia is the one who provoked this war, or that the key to their happiness is a war on Russia. OP is pathethic demonic evil pretending that Russia should accept being destroyed or diminished, and educate that acceptance instead of the truth of demonic intentions towards it.
Lol. Ukraine has wanted peace since day 1. Russia is the aggressor. Seems like you’re the abject moron believing lies, and you’re just projecting onto OP.
Ukraine has wanted peace since day 1
Pure lies. They spent 8 years ethnically cleansing Russian minority while Russia pushed for peace deals (Minsk accords). They escallated when Russia said there was no other choice than SMO. They faked acceptance of peace to get Russia to leave Kyiv siege, while Boris Johnson told them to keep their suicide path. They sabotage every other peace initiative since. The level of brainwashed demonic enthusiasm in west has never been higher.
Keep telling yourself that. Only a moron would actually believe that. Or a shill
For all the flaws of its participants, Lemmy is particularly sensitized against propaganda spewed by idiots. Take that how you like.
LOL. When you reach rock bottom please don’t start digging.
Hey, now, there are a lot of perfectly good people in the southernmost tip of Chile who do not deserve Russians springing up from the ground!
Yeah because Russia didn’t invade… It may be a proxy war at this point but Ukraine 100% did not start it.
