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.
20k that we know about. There’s probably A LOT more that are unaccounted for.
Anything’s possible when you make shit up
Prove it’s made up. I dare you.
Two day old account and calling bullshit out left, right and centre. Welcome!
Burden of proof for your claims is on you, and we both know you don’t have any actual evidence for this bullshit
“How Moscow grabs Ukrainian kids and makes them Russians”
How the West Tolerated Russia’s Kidnapping of Ukrainian Children
Report of the Independent International Commission of Inquiry on Ukraine
There are literally dozens more, from countries all over the world.
I dare you again. Prove me wrong. I’ve got dozens of world governments and human rights watchdog organizations on my side.
What have you got?
Like Israelis towards Palestinians
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.
Reminder that this is a “.world” post, which means this poster is most likely a western-imperialist liberal.
One of the common ways in which they will throw out your arguments is by calling you a tankie. Which is the liberal version of the word “woke”.
As for Russia the only reason we side with it is because of it’s resistance to western-imperialism, unlike you lot. We have good corroborated evidence & all you have is “nuh uh, it’s Russian propaganda”. You fuckers are still allowing Netanyahu to roam free https://lemmy.ml/post/40976380
UPDATE:- the .world-ers locked me out, I cannot respond to defend my claims anymore. Yeah these liberal-warmongers are the "beacon of democracy"😂
Oooo, are we speedrunning logical fallacies again? I’ll take “whataboutism” for $1000, Alex!
I’ll take “thought terminating cliches” for your mother
AND Ad Hominem! Aww, you guys do know all the hits. You really know how to make a guy feel welcome.
It’s only an ad hominem if the insult is the argument, dumbass
No, we speedrunning your western-imperialist propaganda talking points. Funny that you mention whataboutism.
This reveals your hypocrisy. Not surprising. You mass-murder non-westerners & you still have the nerve to virtue signal.
Hey you’re doing that thing they mentioned, almost like you’re all reading from the same short list of canned responses
Cool picture, but a nothing burger at best & an admittance of your lackings at worse. Next time get a picture of the hammer & sickle
I mean you’re siding with rapists, torturers, murderers and terrorists.
Of course normal people will throw out your arguments.
For anyone interested, see Bucha.
Look at those adorable tankies in the comments defending rampant fascism.
With actual fascist methodology. Flooding with contradicting claims and shifting blame.
Go on. Do name calling next. You loooove name calling.
adorable tankies
actual fascist methodology
Go on. Do name calling next.
Bro, what?
I pledge allegiance, to the Flag…
Downvoted for being 100% right
Nope, downvoted for whataboutism.
Well yeah. Same as many US schools. Standard.
Accurate
Totally unlike what the US has been doing for decades
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.
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.
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.
“Everyone i disagree with is a bot, also I can’t even tell who agrees with me” lol
we invaded China years ago
I mean, we literally did this during the Korean War
Cool story
Well yeh okay, that seems interesting, but I’m not going completely to trust anything made by a vemture capital company based in a country which has been supplying military equipment to ukraine. They literally have a vested interest in prolonging the war, it’s good for the economy
Think critically, you are not immune to propaganda
Asking westerners to think critically about a country they’ve been told is evil? That’s a downvote lol
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.
