"Talankin's documentary uses two years of footage recorded at a school to illustrate how students were exposed to pro-war messaging, reflecting the state's propaganda efforts."
"The Russian government has sought to suppress opposition to the war in Ukraine while attempting to rally support among its citizens, leading to severe consequences for dissenters."
"Being labeled a foreign agent imposes strict bureaucratic requirements and income restrictions, forcing individuals to disclose their status in public communications."
Pavel Talankin spent two years documenting pro-war propaganda in a Russian school, ultimately smuggling footage for the Oscar-winning documentary 'Mr Nobody Against Putin.' After winning the Academy Award, Russian authorities labeled him a foreign agent, citing his dissemination of inaccurate information about the government. A Russian court banned the documentary from streaming platforms, claiming it promoted negative views of the government and the war in Ukraine. Talankin's work highlights the suppression of opposition and the promotion of war support among Russian citizens.
