"Mr. Nobody Against Putin" - Recommendation

Mr Nobody Against Putin is a 2025 documentary film directed by David Borenstein and Pavel Talankin. It follows Talankin in his job at a school in Karabash, a poor mining town near the Ural Mountains. While recording his students, Talankin also documents the Putin administration movements to control public perception during the ongoing Russo-Ukrainian war.[3]

The film had its world premiere at the World Cinema Documentary section of the 2025 Sundance Film Festival on 25 January, where it won the Special Jury Award. It was selected as the Danish entry for Best International Feature Film at the 98th Academy Awards, but it was not shortlisted for a nomination.[4] However, it was nominated in the Best Documentary Feature Film category. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mr_Nobody_Against_Putin
