Moscow began for British journalist Peter Pomerantsev, the Kyiv-born son of an exiled dissident, in 2001, when he arrived in the city, which was brimming with life, opportunity and money, to work in Western think tanks, EU projects and as a documentary film assistant. However, the story of this book begins only in 2006, when Pomerantsev becomes a producer of documentaries and reality shows on the TNT TV channel. He is introduced to a world that is fundamentally different from the worlds he is familiar with: the British European world and the Russian dissident world. This is the world of the all-powerful Russian television, big money and big power. And next to this Russia of oil capital, decadent parties, and exorbitantly expensive works of art, there is a Russia of overcrowded detention centres, bandits, secret services, and lawlessness. In this way, Pomerantsev reveals the very way of thinking of this «new Russia» - a deep split personality, multiplicity, stratification and emptiness between them. The story does not end in Moscow: on his return to London, Pomerantsev observes how the «new Russia» marches through the West, buying up property, and its thinking is universalising.

Nothing is True and Everything is Possible contributed to changing the way the world had been discussing Russia, especially in the wake of the events of 2014, when the book first appeared. And in 2016, Peter Pomerantsev received the Royal Society of Literature's Ontario Prize for it.
