'Electrifying.' Anne Applebaum 'Mesmerising.' Financial Times
'Seductive and terrifying in equal measure.' The Times 'Required
reading.' Observer A journey into the glittering, surreal heart of
21st century Russia: into the lives of Hells Angels convinced they
are messiahs, professional killers with the souls of artists,
bohemian theatre directors turned Kremlin puppet-masters,
supermodel sects, post-modern dictators and oligarch
revolutionaries. This is a world erupting with new money and new
power, changing so fast it breaks all sense of reality, where life
is seen as a whirling, glamorous masquerade where identities can be
switched and all values are changeable. It is home to a new form of
authoritarianism, far subtler than 20th century strains, and which
is rapidly expanding to challenge the global order. An
extraordinary book - one which is as powerful and entertaining as
it is troubling - Nothing is True and Everything is Possible offers
a wild ride into this political and ethical vacuum.
