The documentary 'Mr. Nobody Against Putin' won the Oscar for Best Documentary Feature at the 2026 Academy Awards. The film highlights the story of Pavel Talankin, a former Russian teacher who secretly filmed his students participating in pro-war propaganda supporting Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. Talankin smuggled the footage out of the country and collaborated with American director David Borenstein in Denmark to create the documentary. Both directors made strong political statements during their acceptance speeches, condemning war and warning about the dangers of totalitarianism and civic passivity.
