Russia Condemns Oscar-Winning Film Over Children’s Consent Allegations
The council alleges minors were filmed without parental consent in footage meant for internal educational use and has called for an official inquiry by the Academy and UNESCO.
- On Wednesday, Russia condemned the Oscar-winning documentary 'Mr Nobody Against Putin', its first official reaction after the film won at the Academy Awards on Sunday.
- Pavel Talankin, 35, small-town school videographer, filmed pro-war patriotic lessons in Karabash, Chelyabinsk region, and smuggled the footage out when he fled Russia in 2024.
- Citing use of minors' images, Russia's human rights council formally called for probes and asked the Academy that awards the Oscars and UNESCO to investigate.
- State-Controlled Russian media largely ignored the Oscar win, and Moscow has not commented on the film's substance; the Kremlin said it had not seen it and could not comment.
- Since sending troops against neighbouring Ukraine four years ago, the Kremlin has suppressed opposition while authorities introduced patriotic activities in schools and universities that critics say amount to mobilisation.
