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
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
Well yeah. Same as many US schools. Standard.
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.
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
This is kinda one of the those no shit Sherlock TIL.
you mean pretty much like us students?
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.
that’s because a lot of tankies get banned from other social media, i guess. on the fediverse you can’t really ban anyone because it’s decentralized.
i think when the fediverse becomes bigger, that’ll probably be a bit diluted, because the number of tankies stays the same but the number of users increases.
Unfortunately, for me diluting won’t do the trick. After 2 or 3 MAGA or Putin lovers comments I’m out, can’t stand it anymore. Guess lemmy is doomed for me too.
You have the option of using an instance that blocks those people. And links to Sputnik & RT.
Check this out:
Which conversation would you rather be a part of?
Turning a blind eye to it and living in an ignorant echo chamber of your own making is how the world got to the state its in now.
I’ll continue calling out their lies when I encounter them, thanks.
Thank you.
I can only stand so much, they always insist on having the last word.So does ChatGPT lol
ChatGPT wishes it could sling righteously angry, politically aware sarcasm like I can.
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.
20K children kidnapped and widespread civilian fatalities are probably the least of what’s actually going on. This is just what they were too stupid to hide.
Much less. The only 500ish names listed are mostly from Crimean orphanages that Ukraine was targetting. Entire narrative is pure BS.
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!
Thanks! Finally wised up after getting banned from Reddit for correctly identifying a certain South African billionaire’s political leanings.
Well, I’ve tagged you as “sound” which is the highest compliment where I’m from.
Delusional
Awww. You’re tagged “Russia lover”. Bless your delusional, not answering the question by deflecting burden of proof for your claim soul.
Burden of proof for your claims is on you, and we both know you don’t have any actual evidence for this bullshit
Cool story
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.
For all the flaws of its participants, Lemmy is particularly sensitized against propaganda spewed by idiots. Take that how you like.
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
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!
Just don’t show what’s going on in Ukrainian schools and we’re all good
Are you trying to vaguely imply that Ukraine does the same? They don’t. If you’ve got evidence to the contrary, show it. Otherwise, shut up with your baseless insinuations.
Why don’t you tell us? Provide a (credible) link bud. Russia today doesn’t count.
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.
LOL.
Superb whataboutism. Bravo! 👏
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.
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
