Biography
Peter Pomerantsev (born 1977) is a Ukrainian-born British journalist, author and television producer. He is a Senior Fellow at the Institute of Global Affairs at the London School of Economics, where he co‑directs the Arena program, and he is an associate editor at Coda Media, a position he has held since at least 2015. He has written several non‑fiction books on Russian disinformation and propaganda, including Nothing Is True and Everything Is Possible and This Is Not Propaganda, and a later book, How to Win an Information War, on Sefton Delmer.
Ethnically Russian but raised in England, Pomerantsev worked in Moscow's fast‑growing television and film industry. His writing draws on those experiences, describing encounters with oligarchs, media figures, criminal networks and creative industries, and portraying a Russia in which identities and public reality are unstable and manipulated.

Nothing is true and everything is possible
Nothing Is True and Everything Is Possible is a first‑hand account of 21st‑century Russia, taking the reader into its glittering, surreal public life. Pomerantsev portrays a society where identities and values are fluid and argues this instability has helped produce a new form of authoritarianism built on avarice and temptation.
