Through candid classroom recordings, a Russian teacher risks everything to expose how his government turns schools into propaganda factories.
In Karabash – the Russian copper-smelting city that UNESCO once called the most polluted place on earth – Pavel ‘Pasha’ Talankin is the cheerful, baby-faced ‘cool teacher’ at Primary School 1. As the school’s event coordinator and videographer, it’s his job to upload jubilant footage of lessons, marching drills and patriotic songs to a government website in order to prove that the school is abiding by President Vladimir Putin’s Federal Patriotic Education Policy.
