Such a terrific documentary! The best I saw at our local film festival last week!
Pavel Talankin witnessed Russia’s efforts to indoctrinate children with the state’s ideology while working as a school event coordinator.
He turned the footage he filmed at work into "Mr. Nobody Against Putin," a rare glimpse at how Russian schools have become tools of state propaganda.

In my two summers as a grad student in Moscow in the 1990s, picking up the day’s copy of the MT was a particular highlight. Many years later, when one of his sons attended Middlebury, I had the good fortune of meeting Derk and sharing with him how much the MT had meant to me.
