![]() ![]() Andrew MarrĪ fizzingly impressionistic account of the new Russian elites … irresistible. One of the most disturbing books I’ve read for a very long time … a dizzying tour of Vladimir Putin’s Russia, a world of post modern cynicism and corruption. ― AD Miller, author of SNOWDROPSĪlthough Putin is rarely mentioned, this book is one of the finest accounts we have of the grotesque nihilism of his system … required reading for anyone seeking to understand Putin’s Russia, and useful antidotes for anyone – on the right or left – who somehow remains convinced that it represents a purer alternative to the wicked west. ![]() The shapeshifters, ultracynics, sleazeballs and forsaken victims in Peter Pomerantsev’s elegantly seething alternative history convey more about the truth – and the lies – of Putinism than could reams of Kremlinology. riveting, urgent book … Pomerantsev is one of the most perceptive, imaginative and entertaining commentators writing on Russia today and, much like the country itself, his first book is seductive and terrifying in equal measure. Anne ApplebaumĪ riveting account of the creation of Putin’s Russia. ![]() Pomerantsev is one of the most brilliant observers of Putin’s Russia … an electrifying, terrifying book. ![]()
