“Mr Nobody Against Putin” Wins Oscar; Meet the Russian Teacher in Film Who Confronts State Propaganda

Mr Nobody Against Putin won the Academy Award for Best Documentary Feature on Sunday. Democracy Now! recently spoke with co-director David Borenstein and the subject of the film, the Russian teacher Pavel “Pasha” Talankin, who personally documented Russia’s use of wartime propaganda. “I need for as many people as possible to see what is happening inside of Russian schools,” says Talankin. “Putin is forcing propaganda into their schools, and [the children are] absorbing all of this.” Borenstein says the film is also a reflection on “the value of one person’s resistance, about how much one person can do, about how much we can overcome complicity while the systems around us are succumbing to authoritarianism.”

The flowers you received for #ValentinesDay might have been picked by "Rio" who harvests flowers in Oxnard CA. She earns min wage and makes 8-12 bunches an hour to keep up with productivity requirements. She likes working in nurseries as it’s stable year round work. #WeFeedYou

Chocolate covered strawberries are a great #ValentinesDay treat. Let's give a cheer for workers like "Eva" who was laboring in Ventura County CA. She had to trudging through slippery muddy rows to bring this sweet fruit to our table. #WeFeedYou

"Maya" is hard at work in Watsonville, CA in the strawberries. "I'm removing the weeds and runners that grow around the strawberry plants. All the walking and carrying the bag that we put the weeds makes me very tired. It is not an easy job, but it feeds my family." #WeFeedYou
