In the new Russia, even dictatorship is a reality show.
Professional killers with the souls of artists, would-be theater
directors turned Kremlin puppet-masters, suicidal supermodels,
Hell's Angels who hallucinate themselves as holy warriors, and
oligarch revolutionaries: welcome to the glittering, surreal heart
of twenty-first-century Russia. It is a world erupting with new
money and new power, changing so fast it breaks all sense of
reality, home to a form of dictatorship--far subtler than
twentieth-century strains--that is rapidly rising to challenge the
West. When British producer Peter Pomerantsev plunges into the
booming Russian TV industry, he gains access to every nook and
corrupt cranny of the country. He is brought to smoky rooms for
meetings with propaganda gurus running the nerve-center of the
Russian media machine, and visits Siberian mafia-towns and the
salons of the international super-rich in London and the US. As the
Putin regime becomes more aggressive, Pomerantsev finds himself
drawn further into the system. Dazzling yet piercingly insightful,
Nothing Is True and Everything Is Possible is an unforgettable
voyage into a country spinning from decadence into madness.
