The essential book on the New Russia, and how it's travelled from communist collapse to a new form of dictatorship.
§'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 wil d ride into this political and ethical vacuum.
Rezension:
