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.
Perhaps the most important global trend of the last few years has been the rise - and transformation - of information warfare.
Der er krig i Europa. Ikke bare propagandakrig. Ikke bare hybridkrig. Rigtig krig. Vladimir Putins Rusland har taget sigte på Ukraines hær og civilbefolkning, på Ukraines selvforståelse og eksistensret. Men Rusland er også i krig mod os, mod det Vesten, som i Putins øjne kontrollerer Ukraine og vil omskabe landet til et ’Anti-Rusland’.Vi kan kun være fjender samler fem af Peter Pomerantsevs essays om krigen i Ukraine. Bogen handler om armeringen af desinformation. Den handler om de bevæggrunde og det forestillingsunivers, der har drevet Putins Rusland ud i den blodigste krig, Europa har oplevet siden Anden Verdenskrig. Men ikke mindst handler den om Ukraines modstandsånd. Og om hvordan landets modstrategier kan inspirere verden.Peter Pomerantsev blev født i 1977 i Kyiv og er opvokset i Storbritannien. Pomerantsev er tidligere tv-producer på russisk stats-tv og i dag tilknyttet Johns Hopkins University som Senior Fellow. Pomerantsev er forfatter til de internationale bestsellere "Nothing Is True and Everything Is Possible" (2014) og "This Is Not Propaganda" (2019) om det postmoderne diktatur, som han kalder det russiske styre. Pomerantsevs essays bringes i bl.a. Time Magazine, The Atlantic, The Guardian, Granta og Newsweek.
