Suswatibasu (1703 KP) rated Nothing is True and Everything is Possible: Adventures in Modern Russia in Books
Jul 28, 2017
Peter Pomerantsev is a veteran reporter for Russia, and his tongue and cheek yet informative look into the country is engaging, concerning and at times just plain insane.
The book itself meanders through a variety of topics, mostly based on the writer's experiences of working on various television programmes for state sponsored networks, therefore doesn't strictly stick to the nitty gritty political system.

The Thunderbirds are very interesting, and I'd like to know a lot more about their culture than what we get here.
