Nothing is True and Everything is Possible, Peter Pomerantsev

 

Nothing is True and Everything is Possible:  The surreal heart of the new Russia by Peter Pomerantsev is a book I picked up trying to understand the Russia where Putin felt comfortable going on wars of acquisition.

Review:

Stunningly, this book is already out of date.  It is helpful to understand how modern Russia transitioned, but the things about which this book might speculate happened a while ago.  The Russian approach of absconding with the very concept of truth has inculcated American culture and the presidency.  Ugh.
