Eschewing notes or slides, Kot sets off on an extended riff which encompasses tsarist history, the causes of the war in Ukraine and the tenets of Orthodox Christianity. He stresses that Ukraine – where he was born and brought up – has always been part of a greater Russia. After class I chat to Kot’s students to find out what they make of their education. “Young people can’t relate to state propaganda because it supports a system which everyone knows is corrupt, and doesn’t address the real problems we see around us,” says Alexander, a young man with a rather intense manner. Alexander doesn’t have a problem with the war per se. But he says Russia’s real problems – the poverty and drug abuse rife among its youth – are being ignored.
Kot is well-placed to deliver this message with the requisite sense of drama: 20 years ago he was acting in Ukrainian films, before going on to work as a presenter for a pro-Russianchannel in Ukraine. After protests against Russian influence erupted in Kyiv in 2013, Kot left for Moscow, where he quickly became a media commentator on Ukraine.
