A Russian teacher secretly documents his small town school’s transformation into a war recruitment center during the Ukraine invasion, revealing the ethical dilemmas educators face amid propaganda and militarization.<\/p>\r\n
Pavel Talankin<\/a> is an unlikely hero – a beloved Russian primary school teacher, known as a mentor and prankster who offers students a safe haven in his office. After Russia invades Ukraine, Pasha\u2019s role in the school changes dramatically as he is reluctantly drawn into Putin<\/a>\u2019s propaganda machine. Forced to promote state-sanctioned messages and horrified by the transformation of his school and community, he struggles with guilt and a sense of powerlessness, leading him to become an international whistleblower. As the school\u2019s videographer, Pasha documents intimate and revealing footage of Putin\u2019s regime, capturing the rise of militarized children\u2019s groups, repressive laws, fervent nationalism, and the recruitment of graduating students to fight in the war. When he learns his own life may be at risk, Pasha is forced to plan a dangerous escape from Russia.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n Lisatud 13.03.2026, 1 171 323 380b<\/p>\r\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" A Russian teacher secretly documents his small town school’s transformation into a war recruitment center during the Ukraine invasion, revealing the ethical dilemmas educators face amid propaganda and militarization.
