Summary
The documentary Mr Nobody Against Putin exposes how Russian schools are being used for pro-war indoctrination.
Directed by former teacher Pavel Talankin, the film captures students forced to march, study propaganda-filled history books, and attend speeches by war veterans, including ex-Wagner fighters.
Some teachers embrace nationalism, while others feel trapped. Facing mounting threats, Talankin fled Russia in 2024 with footage documenting the militarization of youth.
He hopes the film, which won a Sundance award, will reveal the extent of Putin’s ideological control over education.
Reads off like a preview of the United States in the very near future
Dictators eventually use the same playbook.
Why people like them and vote for them? Is this written in an old fashioned idea of cyclical history of mankind? It can’t be, history has been written down, documented and now even filmed.
A group that’s doing pretty well starts to get worried that the groups that aren’t doing as hot are going to come for them so they no longer want those groups to have a say in government and use their assets they’ve gained from doing pretty well to prop up a daddy figure to protect them.
So in the end they use a psychological need for a protective figure to fool an entire population? On the other side you have Ukraine who could not obtain too much from the European ally due to his own corruption and national issues, so they asks protection to the old enemy of their attacker, who are also fooled by their daddy figure.
Despite we see an aging population, it’s like they’re all orphan kids.
México too, we are already shitting all over the educational model
So what I’m reading, is they released a documentary for Trump to follow for America.
He’ll have a much easier time seeing it on TV than being given the orders by putin in verbal or written form.
Anyone else think Mr Nobody has pretty much committed a delayed suicide, his best chance is probably to live somewhere very remote with new credentials.
Brave guy though trying to make a difference but he’s almost certainly put himself on Putins list.
Sounds worth a watch.
