About this episode

The episode discusses how propaganda infiltrates education in Russia through the experiences of Pavel Talankin, who documented it in a film.

Propaganda works best when it disappears—into morning assemblies, lesson plans, even the alphabet on the wall. That’s what Pavel “Pasha” Talankin saw inside his classroom in Russia. So he started filming it all and what he captured became not just an Oscar-winning movie — but a record of how control settles in, one school day at a time.
