The horrors Russia has been inflicting on Ukraine have sadly become a familiar sight on the daily news.  Far less attention has been paid to the consequences of the war for the Russian people.  This is the subject of the 2026 Oscar award winning documentary, Mr. Nobody Against Putin.  It is the story of an ordinary teacher who risks everything to show the world how the war and Putin’s education policies are destroying the lives of Russia’s youth.  To discuss the documentary Katya Haskins will be returning to the podcast.  A graduate of Moscow State University who witnessed the final years of the Soviet Union, Katya is a professor of rhetoric and visual studies at Pennsylvania State University.  She is the author of Remembering the War, Forgetting the Terror: Appeals to Family Memory in Putin’s Russia.  Join me and Katya Haskins on May 5th for a conversation about the documentary, Mr. Nobody Against Putin.
