Introduction

We often see images of Russian President Vladimir Putin or his war in Ukraine, but we know relatively little about those living in Russia and how Putin's regime affects everyday life.

When school event coordinator and videographer Pavel 'Pasha' Talankin observed political propaganda interfering with his students' education, he felt he must protest.

Filmed by Talankin over two and a half years in secret collaboration with co-director David Borenstein, Mr Nobody Against Putin covers rising propaganda in Russian schools.

Through extensive footage recorded in the school, the 2025 film reveals how Putin's regime indoctrinates children to support his military campaign.
