Oscar Statuette for 'Mr. Nobody Against Putin' Missing on Flight, Recovered by Lufthansa
An Oscar statuette awarded to Russian director Pavel Talankin for the documentary 'Mr. Nobody Against Putin' went missing during a Lufthansa flight from New York to Germany. The statuette was initially checked into hold luggage due to security concerns raised by TSA agents at John F. Kennedy International Airport, who deemed it a potential security threat. The award was later found and secured by Lufthansa in Frankfurt. The airline has apologized for the inconvenience and is coordinating the return of the Oscar to Talankin. The documentary highlights pro-war messaging in Russian schools, using footage from Chelyabinsk, and has been defended by Talankin as a historical record.
